The KVK of Jhabua district (M.P.) was entrusted with the responsibility of conducting FLD inMaize (Zea mays L.) is the third most important cereal crop of the world and India after wheat and rice. The state of Madhya Pradesh is the traditional maize growing state that covers 13 per cent of the total maize area and same as to the total maize production in the country. Maize is predominantly cultivated under rained condition in kharif season in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh. The productivity of maize in Madhya Pradesh is very low as compared to other maize-growing states. Average yield of maize is 18.23 q/ha, average productivity of Jhabua district is 113.5 q/ha and average productivity of the state is 159 q/ha. The total area under maize in MP state is 8.49 lakh ha approximate.Front Line Demonstration (FLD) was started in maize to generate production data and feedback information to various development agencies, which are engaged in dissemination of technological advances through researchers to the farmer"s fields. Increasing the productivity and improving the economic condition of the farmers, depends on the level of knowledge and skills of the farmers.Front Line Demonstration (FLD) was started in maize to generate production data and feedback information to various development agencies, which are engaged in dissemination of technological advances through researchers to the farmer"s fields. 1.1Global ranking in maize production: Major maize growing countries and their production (million tons). I. Review Of Literature Patel and Tunver (2004) reported that the yield of groundnut was increased 24.05 per cent after FLD as compared to before frontline demonstration. It shows a positive impact of FLD on adoption of recommended practices. Singh et al. (2005) reported that the FLD was effective in changing the attitude, skill and knowledge of improved / recommended practices of high yielding variety of rice including adoption. Dhaka, et. al (2010) studied that the productivity of maize per unit area and time could be increased by adopting feasible scientific and sustainable management practices with a suitable variety. Taking into account the above consideration, frontline demonstrations were carried out in a systematic manner on farmers" field to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
