The present study was conducted at farmers’ field in Narsinghpur and Umaria districts of Madhya Pradesh; Wardha and Yavatmal districts in Maharashtra during 2016 to 2017. The results of yield gap analysis from a sample size of 160 farmers revealed that the average yield gap-I (technology gap) for pigeon pea and chickpea was 712 to 817 kg/ha and 755 to 789 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh and in Maharashtra 500 to 657 kg/ha and 395 to 627kg/ha. While, the average yield gap-II (extension gap) for pigeon pea was relatively lower i.e. 426 to 448 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh and 454 to 558 kg/ha in Maharashtra. Whereas, the average yield gap-II for chickpea was relatively lower i.e. 264 to 421 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh and 427 to 518 kg/ha in Maharashtra. However, the overall yield gap analysis in pulses in both the district of Madhya Pradesh found that technology gaps (gap-I) were observed more than extension gap (gap-II) in varieties of both the crop. In case of both the district of Maharashtra found that technology gaps (gap-I) were observed less than extension gap (gap-II) in varieties of both the crops except variety Jaki 9218 of chickpea and ICPL 8863 variety of pigeon pea. Therefore, it is summarized that technology gap in pulses (pigeon pea and chickpea) was more than extension gap at farmers field. The potential interventions and various constraints of yield gap in major pulses have been highlighted in this paper.

The present study was carried out at five different villages of Kokrajhar district of Assam where cluster front line demonstration (CFLD) of High Yielding Variety (HYV) of rape seed (TS 46) was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kokrajhar.  A total of 652 nos. of front line demonstration (FLD)s were evaluated to find out the yield gaps between HYV toria variety TS 46 and variety grown by farmers. Yield data of both demonstration and farmers practice were recorded and their yield gap, technology gap, extension gap and technology index were analyzed. The yield of rape seed variety TS 46 was registered 22.38 to 50.00 per cent higher over farmer’s variety. On an average technology gap, extension gap and technology index were recorded as 2.28qha-1, 2.08 qha-1 and 20.73 per cent respectively.

Demonstrations (Improved Practice-IP) on wheat variety GW-273 were conducted on farmers’ fields in Villages Bichhua and Sanjari of Kundam Block of Jabalpur district during rabi season of the year 2014-15. Prevailing farmers’ practices were treated as control for comparison with recommended practices. About 29.98 per cent higher grain yield was recorded under demonstrations over the farmers’ practices (Farmer Practice-FP). The average extension gap, technology gap and technology index were observed to be 7.34 q ha-1, 11.41 q ha-1 and 0.25, respectively. The study found, the yield of wheat in IP under irrigated conditions ranges from 24.20 to 42.20 q/ha whereas in FP it ranges between 16.72 to 38.93 q ha-1. The per cent increase in yield with IP over FP was recorded in the range of 0.05 to 76.68. The extension gap and technological index were ranging between 0.02-17.62 q/ha-1 and 0.06-0.46, respectively.

 In order to assess the nature and extent of yield gap in major pulses in India, published data from different official records were used for different time periods and comparison was made between states and India regarding yield difference of different pulses. Yield gap II was assessed with the help of data obtained from annual reports of Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur for major pulses crops. Both yield gap I and Yield gap II was examined in case of chickpea for the period of 2011-12 taking an aggregated yield data. The result revealed that most of the major pulses growing states were having lower yield of total pulses than national average while minor states showed higher yield during 2006-2012. With the positive growth in yield of individual pulses minor states were moving forward and showed potential increase in production of pulses. Yield gap II of major pulses in India showed an increase in the recent period over 2006-07. In case of chickpea frontline demonstration data for the period of 2011-12 revealed that yield gap II ranged from 7.63% in Karnataka to 24.37% in Madhya Pradesh among major chickpea producing states while this gap was 15.80% in Chattishgarh and 29.09% in Bihar among minor states. Yield gap for the same period was observed to be 28.46% in Madhya Pradesh, 28.75% in Karnataka and 28.56% in Maharashtra. These states contribute more than 50% of area share indicating tremendous untapped potential. Factors causing exploitable yield gap could be managed with effective implementation of government program along with participatory research and extension services ensured within the time frame.Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.Vol. 33-34, 2015, page: 213-219
