Impact of Front-Line Demonstration on Pulses Productivity and Profitability in Farmers Fields

Front-Line Demonstration (FLD) is a long-term educational activity carried out systematically by agricultural experts in the field of farmers to demonstrate value new practices/technologies micro-agriculture situation. The aim FLD was improved pulses technologies for production potential. Improved include use varieties, seed treatment with Rhizobium and PSB culture, sowing methods, balanced fertilizer application pest control techniques. results harvested crop 2021-2022 showed that varieties practice packages recorded higher yield compared farmers’ practices. saw increases 26.33 %, 24.63 23.41 % 22.83 increase over farmer practices green gram, chick pea, pigeon pea black gram respectively. average percentage increased 24.30 mean technological gap highest chickpea (3.47 q/ha), followed (1.36 (1.34 q/ha) (1.26 q/ha). maximum extension study at 11.83 q/ha (5.22 (3.57 while lowest observed (2.44 technology index varied between 7.16 17.35% (7.16) pea. gross return (Rs. 81,654/ha), net 56,370/ha) benefit-to-cost ratio (3.23) demonstration Black 44,848/ha), (Rs.24,634 /ha) benefit cost (2.22), which markedly than 36,342/ha), (Rs.16,430/ha) (1.83) practice. yielded and,
