Summer Mung (Vigna radiata L.) Promotion by Cluster Front Line Demonstration in Irrigated Agro-Ecosystem: A Case Study

Background: The marginalization of pulse crops in irrigated agro-ecosystem has been among the most negative facets green revolution technologies. Integration summer mung agro-ecosystems within rice-wheat and alternate systems is feasible remunerative. This crop facilitates intensification by adding a third to sequence there large area intervene. holds key increase income farmers achieve self-sufficiency production. Methods: study was carried out at farmers’ fields under farming situations during period from 2017 2022 using cluster frontline demonstration (CFLD) as farmer participatory intervention. In total 425 demonstrations were conducted on an 170 ha, covering 18 villages farmers. By comparing practices local checks with suggested technologies demonstrations, gap analysis data various technical economic factors recorded. Result: CFLD programme mitigated gaps increased adoption 4 per cent 22 2022. yield over check 17.6 favourable economics generating net additional returns Rs. 5488 ha-1. extension gap, technology index recorded 1.44 q ha-1, 5.48 ha-1 36.53 cent. market price less than minimum support (MSP) all years study. intensifies cropping its cultivation remunerative climate resilient.
