Abstract

The present study was carried out by KVK Khowai Tripura to know the yield gaps between improved practices under frontline demonstration and farmers practice of rapeseed- mustard crops. The productivity ranged from 8.00 to 10.50 q/ ha with average yield under demonstration recorded 9.24 q/ ha under improved technology on farmers field as against a yield ranged from 5.50 to 6.50 q/ ha with a mean of 5.88 q/ ha recorded under farmers practice. However, in the demonstration plot the yield enhancement due to technological intervention was 36.21% over the farmers practice. An average net returns of Rs 18,644/- at demonstrations plot, while the average net returns from farmers practice is Rs 7046/-. The additional cost of Rs 5565/- gave additional net return; it is Rs. 11,510/- per hectare, respectively. The increase benefit cost ratio was also estimated; it ranged from 1.38 to 1.87 in recommended practices and 1.22 to 1.47 in farmers practice. An extension gap of 3.36 q/ ha was found between demonstrated technology and farmers practice, technology gap was observed 3.23 q/ ha, whereas technology index 24.86%. Therefore, CFLD of rapeseed- mustard was an effective for increasing the productivity and cropping intensity (%) of rapeseed- mustard and changing the knowledge, attitude and skill of the farmers. This created greater awareness and motivated the other farmers to adopt improved practices of rapeseed- mustard.
