“…Economic analysis of the yield concluded that the benefit: cost ratios of demonstration plots (3.50) were significantly higher over control (2.78). The results are in conformity with the findings of Hiremath et al [4] in onion, Kumar et al [5] in bajra, Mishra et al [6] in potato, Sharma [7] in moth bean, Gurumukhi and Mishra [8] in sorghum, Yadav et al, [9] in oilseeds, Lathwal [10] in pulses and Singh et al [11] . The benefit: cost ratio of the system proved the economic viability of the interventions made under demonstration and convinced the farmers on the utility of the interventions.…”

The study was carried out during rabi season of 2016-17 to 2018-19. All the front line demonstrations were carried out in an area of 12 hectares with 30 demonstrations. The results of FLD's showed that improved technologies consisting of use of improved variety, seed treatment with Azospirillium, balanced fertilizer application and integrated pest management recorded higher yield as compared to farmer's local practice. The results indicated that on an average 20.52 per cent higher grain yield was recorded in demonstration plots than the local check. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 2.45 q/ha, 4.41 q/ha and 3.71 per cent, respectively. Average of three years data revealed that SPV-2217 variety under improved practices recorded higher grain yield

“…The increase in grain yield in demonstration plots over local check could be attributed to the adoption of recommended technology package in demonstrations. The yield gain in demonstrations plots over the local check plots has also been reported by Kumar and Kispotta (2017); Meena and Singh (2017) and Singh et al (2021).…”

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

“…In Tarn Taran district of Punjab, large area is under rice-wheat cropping system and vegetables, hence, it is required to incorporate summer mung where vegetables such as potato and peas are grown by the farmers and after wheat harvesting to get additional income as well as to enrich the soil with leguminous crop accompanied with organic biomass and nitrogen, off course after wheat harvest there is reduction in the yield of mung due to delayed planting of the crop, however, there are benefits such as enriching soil with N after mung harvest. Summer mung is one of the conventional pulse crops among grain legumes [4]. Several biotic and abiotic constrains in the region are prevailing that restrict the full yield potential of crop to be achieved which needs to be addressed with implementation of recommended practices at farmers' field [5].…”

The present study was conducted to boost summer mung crop area during summer season of 2017 and 2018 with 130 front line demonstration (FLD’s) covering an area of 50 hectare (ha) in Tarn Taran district of Punjab to aware the farmers about improved agricultural technology in real farm situations. The results were compared between FLD and control plots. Latest crop production and protection technologies with improved summer mung varieties (SML 668 and SML 832 during 2017 and 2018, respectively) resulted in an average increase of 23% in the yield of summer mung. Technology gaps, extension gaps and technology indices were calculated to analyze the performance of these FLDs at farmers’ fields. The average extension gap and technology gap recorded were 2.05 q ha-1 and 1.4 q ha-1, respectively. Between both varieties of summer mung, lower technology index of 6.92 per cent in SML 668 in 2017 indicates the feasibility of this variety in existing farming situation in the district over SML 832. This proved that variety SML 668 performed better than SML 832. Sowing of high yielding varieties along with improved package of practices resulted in higher benefit-cost ratio (1.61) over farmers’ practice (1.35) during both years of study.
