Abstract

The productivity of pulse crops continues to be quite low due to technological gap in adoption pulses of technology. The yield of pulses can be increased by demonstrating their cultivation technologies at farmers field under the supervision of scientist working in operational area. Keeping the above fact front line demonstration were under taken by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra Jaora, District Ratlam (M.P.). The improved package of practices of chickpea in the district for five consecutive years wise 2002-03 to 2006-07. The highest seed yield (1725 kg/ha) was recorded in year 2004-05 and it was 43.75 per cent more over the farmers practice (1200 kg/ha). However, the lowest yield (1313 kg/ha) was recorded in FLD in the year 2002- 03 and 880 kg/ha in farmers practice. The variation in the per cent increase in yield was found due to variation in agro-climatic parameters under rainfed condition. The demonstrated farmers act also as source of information and pure seeds for wider dissemination of the HYV of chickpea for other farmers.

Abstract

The study was conducted in Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh to find out the constraints faced by aonla growers in adoption of improve cultivation practices of aonla. 120 aonla growers were selected randomly from three Blocks of district. The data were collected by personally interviewing the respondent and analysed statistically. The result of study depicted that majority of aonla growers faced the major constraints towards adoption of improved cultivation practices, non-availability of planting material from reliable sources, lack of knowledge about budding and grafting, higher cost of pesticides and fungicides, fertilizers and non-availability food processing and value addition units for overcoming these constraints. Aonla growers suggested to make strategies for marketing guidance, ensured transportation, popularizing high density orcharding, proper pruning after harvesting and availability of quality planting material for aonla cultivation.

Abstract

Front Line Demonstration is an appropriate tool to demonstrate recommended technologies among the farmers. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ratlam (M.P.) conducted 50 demonstrations on mustard since 2005-06 to 2009-10 in five adopted villages. The critical inputs were identified in existing production technology through farmers meetings and group discussions with the farmers. The average five years data revealed that an average yield of demonstration plot was obtained 18.94 q/ha. over local check (13.94 q/ha) with an additional yield of 4.97 q/ha and the increase average mustard productivity by 33.80%. The average technological gap and technological index were found to be 6.05 and 24.21%, respectively.
