Investigations were carried out in South-western district of Punjab in Indo-Gangetic plain region during four consecutive years to work out the most suitable sowing time to achieve higher seed yield and comparatively less incidence of yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) in okra. The sowing of okra was staggered from May 1 to June 15 at fortnightly interval. The results revealed that seed yield differed significantly with different sowing dates. The highest seed yield was observed in crop sown on May 1, followed by crop sown on May 15 but further delay in sowing to June 15 through May 30 resulted in progressive and significant reduction in seed yield of okra. The higher seed yield under earlier sowing can be ascribed to less incidence of YVMV, which was higher under late sown conditions. The income per rupee investment of okra seed crop was found to be the maximum (5.31) when sown on May 1.Keywords

One hundred fifty three front line demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted on farmers’ fields to demonstrate the effect of improved technologies on the productivity of canola type gobhi sarson var. GSC-7 using cluster approach in district Faridkot of Punjab during Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18. The productivity of gobhi sarson under demonstration plots ranged between 19.2 to 20.4 q and 19.9 to 20.8 q/ha, respectively, for year 2016-17 and 2017-18, whereas, under farmers’ practice, the productivity varied from 14.1 to 14.2 q and 16.6 to 17.1 q/ha for the respective years. The maximum value of extension gap to the tune of 5.10 q/ha was recorded in cluster IV followed by cluster III and V (4.75 q/ha), cluster II (4.65 q/ha) and the least was in cluster I (4.10 q/ha). The technology gap in the demonstration plots over potential yield was the lowest i.e. 1.80 q/ha in cluster IV, whereas, the highest technology gap was recorded in cluster I (2.70q/ha). The technology index was 8.09 per cent for cluster IV and the highest (12.13%) for cluster I while the mean technology index was 9.48 per cent. The value of net returns per ha under demonstration plots was Rs. 71594 and Rs. 72170, whereas, farmers’ practice gave net returns per ha of Rs. 40626 and Rs. 52626 for the year 2016- 17 and 2017-18, respectively. The benefit: Cost ratio varied between 3.76 to 4.05 for 2016-17 and 3.73 to 4.04 for 2017-18 under demonstration plots while the value of same under farmers’ practice varied between 2.46 to 2.55 and 2.80 to 2.93, respectively, for year 2016-17 and 2017-18.Keywords

A study was conducted in South Western Punjab (India) during 2016-18 to assess the economic performance of clusterwise front line demonstration on chickpea (var PBG-7). One hundred ninety five front line demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted at farmers’ fields to demonstrate the effect of improved technologies on the productivity of chickpea using cluster village approach in Faridkot district of Punjab duringRabi 2016-17 and 2017-18. The productivity of chickpea under demonstration plots ranged between 11.9 to 13.2 q and 12.2 to 14.1 q/ha during year 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively, whereas, under farmers’ practice the productivity varied from 9.5 to 10.7 q and 9.0 to 11.2 q/ha for respective years. The extension gap in the demonstration plots over potential yield was the lowest i.e., 1.8 q/ha in cluster I, whereas, the highest extension gap was recorded in cluster II (3.35q/ha) while the average extension gap over all the clusters was 2.57q/ha. The highest value of technology gap of 7.95 q/ha was recorded in cluster I, however, the least value was recorded in cluster IV (6.35) with the average technology gap of 7.10 q/ha over all the clusters. The technology index (%) was 31.75 for cluster IV, 33.50 for V, 35.5 for III, 37.0 for II and the highest, 39.75 per cent for cluster I, while, the mean technology index was 35.5 per cent. The value of net returns per ha under demonstration plots was Rs. 23550 and Rs. 26310, whereas, farmers practice gave net returns of Rs.14110 and Rs.14180 per ha, respectively, for the years 2016-17 and 2017-18. The benefit : cost ratio ranged from 1.80 to 2.00 for 2016-17 and 1.81 to 2.10 for 2017-18 under demonstration plots while the value of same varied between 1.42 to 1.59 and 1.31 to 1.63 under farmers’ practice for year 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively.Keywords
