Krishi Vigyan Kendra conducts cluster demonstrations every year as per target assignedby ICAR. The study evaluates impact of 300 demonstrations on mustard crop in 120hectare area conducted by KVK Sirsa since 2015-16 to 2017-18 in different villages of thedistrict. The extension gaps in technologies were identified through farmers meetings andgroup discussions with the farmers. The findings indicated significant increase in the averageyield of demonstrated plot (15.13%) over the farmer’s practice plot of mustard crop. Averageyield of demonstration plots was recorded higher by 18.18 per cent, 14.09 per cent and13.13 per cent in years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. The extension gapwas 4.0 q/ha, 3.10 q/ha and 2.89 q/ha while technology gap was 2.0 q/ha, 2.90 q/ha and2.11 q/ha during consecutive years respectively. During these three years, yield increase indemonstration plots expressed as additional income over check plots accounted for Rs.7670/ha, Rs. 12350/ha and Rs. 11590/ha respectively during various years.

During the period from 2006 to 2011, 80 frontline demonstrations were conducted on the horsegram production technology to transfer the technologies among the farmers of Bhilwara district in semi-arid region of south Rajasthan with the objective to evaluate the economic feasibility of technology transfer and adoption. Adoption of improved technology had significant impact on seed yield vis-a-vis yield gaps in horsegram. Improved technology enhanced horsegram yield from 294 kg/ha (farmer’s practice) to 537 kg/ha (improved practice), an overall increase of 40.83%. There was a wide yield variation between potential and demonstration yields of horsegram mainly due to technology and extension gaps. Extension yield gaps varied to the extent of 96 to 180 kg/ ha whereas technology yield gaps varied from 288 to 413 kg/ ha. Technology index varied from 34.91 to 50.06 %, which indicate for further scope of improvement in productivity of horsegram in the region. The marginal difference between benefit-cost ratio of improved practice and farmer’s practice proves of adoption of improved technologies by the farmers. However, to further bridge up the gap between technology developed and technology transferred, there is a need to strengthen the extension network besides emphasis on specific local recommendations.

Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Banda organized 79 clusters front line demonstrations during Rabi seasons of years 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 on Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) along with Line sowing technology and high yielding variety on farmers’ fields in the six villages. The soil of this area was two kinds of black soils known as kabar and mar with pH range 6.8 to 7.8, organic matter 0.23 to 0.47 per cent, available nitrogen and also phosphorus was found low, potash was medium and soil organic carbon was low in all the demonstration plots. Yield of linseed was recorded between 9.45to 15.3q per ha (average 13.65 q/ha) by adoption of improved package of practices as Recommended Dose of Fertilizer along with Line sowing and high yielding variety over existing farmers practices, an average increase of 22.89 per cent in grain yield was recorded during the study period due to improved package of practices. Average technology gap was 3.01q/ha, extension gap was 2.54q/ha and averaged technology index was 18.07 per cent. The average net returns was recorded Rs. 41099 /ha from demonstration compared to farmer’s field was Rs. 32036/ha. The averaged BCR was also reported to be higher 3.25 compared to farmers’ practice (2.99) it was due to Recommended Dose of Fertilizer along with Line sowing technology and high yielding variety.
