Lentil is an important pulse crop of Haryana. Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Tepla, Ambala conducted 28 frontline demonstrations in different villages on lentil. The results were compared with full package of practices viz., improved variety, seed treatment, seed inoculation, recommended dose of fertilizer, use of SSP fertilizer and plant protection management etc. and farmer practices included local or old variety, no seed treatment, no seed inoculation and imbalance and wrong choice of fertilizer. The FLD on lentil registered 24.51 per cent higher yield over farmers practice on an average. The highest yield (13.75 qt/ha) was recorded in the year 2009-2010 in FLD, which was 23.64 per cent more over the farmers practice (10.50 qt/ha). Average extension gap was recorded 2.09 qt/ha. and average technology index was recorded 28.49 per cent. The technology gap ranged from 1.75 qt/ha. to 8.75 qt/ha. On an average, technology gap was 4.05 qt/ha.

Lentil is an important pulse crop of Haryana. Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Tepla, Ambala conducted 28 frontline demonstrations in different villages on lentil. The results were compared with full package of practices viz., improved variety, seed treatment, seed inoculation, recommended dose of fertilizer, use of SSP fertilizer and plant protection management etc. and farmer practices included local or old variety, no seed treatment, no seed inoculation and imbalance and wrong choice of fertilizer. The FLD on lentil registered 24.51 per cent higher yield over farmers practice on an average. The highest yield (13.75 qt/ha) was recorded in the year 2009-2010 in FLD, which was 23.64 per cent more over the farmers practice (10.50 qt/ha).
