Front line demonstration on yield gap analysis in onion was conducted in Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh with participation of farmers for two years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The demonstration was conducted at 10 farmer’s field according to recommended package of practices of ICAR- Directorate of onion and garlic research, Rajgurunagar. The demonstration was carried out with the objective to provide improved variety of onion (Bhima Shakti) and production technology to the farmers with the aim to reduce the cost of production and increase the yield. Use local variety is the major constraint of farmer’s practices in cultivation of onion. This gap of lower production can be fulfilled by using high yielding variety of onion and adopting improved package of practices in farmer’s field. The data were collected and analyzed on cost of cultivation, production, productivity; gross return and net return. Results indicated that the average maximum yield of demonstration practice was recorded 346 q /ha yield whereas in farmers practice the yield was 236 q/ha. The percent increase in yield over farmer’s practices was recorded 49.47 per cent. The average technology and extension gap were computed 220.50 q/ha and 118 q/ha respectively with technology index 28.70 per cent. The demonstration gave higher average net return Rs. 923250/- And B: C ratio is 2.84. The result of the demonstration indicated the gap exists in the potential yield and improved practice yield is due to difference in soil fertility and weather condition. The result showed that yield can be increased by adopting high yielding variety and recommended package of practices.
