- Abstract
In all 27 Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) on fenugreek with three interventions (improved varieties, seed treatment and recommended dose of fertilizers) under National Agricultural Innovation Project (Component-2) were conducted at Farmers' fields of adopted village Bhanwata (Kuchamancity) in district Nagaur (Rajasthan) during winter season of the years 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14. On the basis of three years' overall average, it is attributed that about 26.65% higher grain yield was recorded under FLDs than that of the farmers' traditional check/ practice. The study exhibited mean extension gap of 384 kg/ha, technology gap of 675 kg/ha with mean technology index of 27.00%. An additional investment of Rs. 2100/ha coupled with recommended nutrients, water management, plant protection measures, scientific monitoring and non-monetary factors resulted in additional mean returns of Rs. 17069/ha. On the basis of mean data of three years, overall average Incremental benefit: Cost ratio was calculated as 7.13.
