Frontline demonstrations on soybean were conducted by KVK with an aim of enhancing the production potential of soybean crop in Haveri district of north Karnataka. The data showed that on an average, frontline demonstration yield was 9.66 q/ha and the average yield increase over local check was to the tune of 28.06. An additional cost of Rs. 1050 was required to produce an additional yield of 2.15 q/ha. The average additional returns and the average IBCR over the years were Rs. 2147.5/ha and 2.02, respectively.
