“…They observed that non availability of farm yard manure in the village, lack of funds to purchase the manures, risk due to uncertainly of rain, wrong belief among the farmers about fertilizer and inadequate amount of loan to purchase fertilizer and pesticides, failure to understand the importance of preventive measures and non availability of plant protection equipment were the major constraints in the use of pesticides. Similar finding revealed by Singh et al (1998), Singh and Rajput (2000) and Raghuwanshi (2012). Behera et al (1999) in their study on bridging yield gap of wheat through frontline demonstration observed that 29 per cent higher grain yield was obtained with the same variety LOK-I under improved management practices compared to farmer's conventional practices.…”

Demonstrations (Improved Practice-IP) on wheat variety GW-273 were conducted on farmers' fields in Villages Bichhua and Sanjari of Kundam Block of Jabalpur district during rabi season of the year 2014-15. Prevailing farmers' practices were treated as control for comparison with recommended practices. About 29.98 per cent higher grain yield was recorded under demonstrations over the farmers' practices (Farmer Practice-FP). The average extension gap, technology gap and technology index were observed to be 7.34 q ha -1 , 11.41 q ha -1 and 0.25, respectively. The study found, the yield of wheat in IP under irrigated conditions ranges from 24.20 to 42.20 q/ha whereas in FP it ranges between 16.72 to 38.93 q ha -1 . The per cent increase in yield with IP over FP was recorded in the range of 0.05 to 76.68. The extension gap and technological index were ranging between 0.02-17.62 q/ha -1 and 0.06-0.46, respectively.
