Abstract:

Front line demonstrations on improved lentil varieties were conducted on farmers’ fields in district of Sagar (Madhya Pradesh) during rabi 2013-14 to 2015-16. An average 29.55% higher grain yield was recorded under demonstrations over the farmers’ practices. The extension gap and technology index were observed to be 187 kg per ha and 18.47%, respectively. An average additional return of Rs 5889 per ha was obtained with an additional investments of Rs 1368 per ha coupled with scientific monitoring of demonstrations and use of other non-monetary factors. On average basis, the incremental benefit: Cost ratio was found to be 4.64.
