- Abstract
Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Samba, Jammu and Kashmir conducted frontline demonstrations during 2020-21 and 2021-22 in four blocks of Jammu and Kashmir namely Samba, Ghagwal, Sumb and Vijaypur. The demonstrated technology included improved variety PBG-7, seed treatment with fungicides and Rhizobium, water management at critical stages and application of IPM module for the management of insect pests and diseases of chickpea especially gram pod borer, wilt and dry root rot. There was an increase of 49.07 and 50.00 per cent in yield in demonstrations over farmers' practice during 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively. The technology gap in the demonstration yield was 7.2 and 7.8 q per ha in 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively over the potential yield of chickpea. The extension gap of 5.0 and 6.1 q per ha was recorded during 2021-22 and 2022-2023 respectively. The technology index was 40.0 and 39.0 per cent during 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively. With the adoption of improved technology under FLDs, higher gross return (Rs 81,000 and 85,400/ha), net return (Rs 62,500 and 65,900/ha) and B-C ratio (1:3.3 and 1:3.4) were recorded as compared to farmers' practice having the gross return of Rs 40,600 and Rs 42,700 per ha, net return of Rs 23,600 and Rs 25,000 per ha and B-C ratio of 1:1.3 and 1:1.4 during 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively.
