“…Moreover, the average technology gap observed was 107 kg/ha. The differences in technology gap over the years ascribed to better performance of recommended varieties with different interventions and more feasibility of recommended technologies (Verma and Dayanand, 2013;Meena and Singh, 2016;Kumawat et al, 2017;Pagaria et al, 2019) [25,11,17,14] . Similarly, the technology index for all demonstrations in the study were in accordance with technology gap.…”

Performance analysis in terms of gap analysis, yield enhancement and economic viability of improved production technologies of moth bean vis-à-vis farmers' practice was evaluated through front line demonstrations at farmers' field during kharif seasons of 2015, 2016 and 2018. The front line demonstrations were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bikaner-II, Rajasthan. Recommended technologies for the agro-climatic zone (Hyper Arid Partial Irrigated Plain Zone, numerated as IC) developed by the university were adopted in letter and spirit for cultivating moth bean. Improved varieties of moth bean recommended for the region viz., RMO 257, CAZRI Moth 2 and RMO 257 were grown under demonstrations. Selection of farmers' were done following due technique of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). The experimental results reveal that grain yield under demonstrations ranged from 520 to 610 kg/ha with a mean of 567 kg/ha. In per cent terms, scaling in productivity following improved technology ranged from 18.96 to 30.00% with an average value of 23.26% (over the Farmers' practice). Moreover, average yield gaps for extension, technology and technology index were 50, 107 kg/ha and 8.11 per cent, respectively. Demonstration of improved technologies also fetched average gross (₹35,838/ha), net return (₹24,622/ha) and additional return (₹5,605/ha) in comparison to Farmers' practice. Demonstration of improved technology also resulted in realizing higher incremental cost benefit ratio (4.8) and benefit: cost ratio (2.20) compared to the Farmers' practice (1.89) during three years study period. This enhancement in grain yield and economics of moth bean under demonstrations clearly showed the impact of adoption of improved technology over farmers' practice in Hyper Arid Partial Irrigated Plain Zone of Rajasthan.

SUMMARY :Pulse crops have been the backbone of agricultural economy of India from time immemorial. The productivity of moong crop in Barnala district of Punjab state is low due to non-adoption of improved package of practices. Therefore, efforts have been made through front line demonstrations (FLD) to demonstrate improved production technologies to increase productivity of moong crops in the district. Twenty front line demonstrations were conducted on summer moong covering an area of 8.0 hectare and latest production and protection technologies were exhibited. Farmers were randomly selected from adopted villages for conducting front line demonstration. A 13.70 % increase in yield of moong under the demonstration plots over farmer's practices was recorded. Improved variety of moong SML 668 gave the highest yield 11.08 q/ha and 11.15 q/ha as compare to the farmers' practiced variety which gave 9.80 q/ha and 9.75 q/ha yield in the year 2016 and 2017, respectively. The mean extension gap, technology gap and technology index were found 1.34 q/ha, 0.14 q/ha and 1.20 %, respectively. Recommended technologies gave higher mean net return of Rs. 35365 per hectare with a benefit cost ratio 3.25 as compared to farmers practice with mean net return of Rs. 29205 per hectare with a benefit cost ratio 2.86.
