Impact of Front Line Demonstration on Pigeon Pea in Farmers Field through a Cluster Approach

In the operational region of KVK, Palem, a total 175 cluster frontline demos (CFLDs) on pigeon pea were carried out with Redgram variety PRG-176 from 2019–20 to 2021–2022. Through farmer meetings and group discussions, crucial inputs in production technology now use identified. The results for peas showed an overall yield trend 12.50 13.00 q/ha improvement 11.11 11.84% over local methods, respectively. Due significant heterogeneity extent adoption recommended based level risk associated terms cost, convenience, ability, knowledge concerned practice, levels significantly lower under practices. Pigeon had average extension gap, index 128.30, 125, 8.93%, gross net returns crop demonstration were, respectively, 72895 47045 percent higher than farmers' Throughout trial, benefit cost ratio was found be greater pea, at 2.8 technological gap percentage vary as result differences agro-climatic parameters, soil fertility, biotic stressors, socioeconomic status, management Therefore, it is plainly clear data that program's superior varieties, packaging, processes together scientific intervention has contributed raising productivity profitability pulses global economy.
