Satya Prakash Singh Tomar, Prdeep Singh Kushwah, Pushpendra Singh
Abstract :
On farms trails (OFT) and Frontline demonstration (FLD) are the most powerful tools for assessment and demonstration of technology in micro farming situation. Keeping in view of an effective extension approach for dissemination of plant protection technologies for sustainable production of pulses in central India farming system conducted at 45 farmers fields in 10 villages of three districts viz, Gwalior, Bhind and Morena in Gird agro climatic zone of Madhya Pradesh at central India during four consecutive years 2008-09 to 2011-12 was assessed. The impact assessment was based on the technologies assessed over farmers’ practices with reference to plant infestation per cent, yield, net return and cost benefit ratio. There are nine plant protection technologies were assessed and demonstrated at the farmers field for management of disease and insect pests in pulses. Average 4.7 per cent infestation , 16.17 q/ha yield, Rs 27351/ha net return and 2.4 cost benefit ratio in comparison to farmers practice 13.24 percent infestation , 13.73 q/ha yield, Rs 20654/ha net return and 2.0 cost benefit ratio. On farm trails and front line demonstrations were undertaken to validate location specific plant protection technologies to manage the insect pests’ infestation and disease complex in pulses.
