Abstract
A technology demonstration of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was aimed to improve the production after bringing new areas in to cultivation in Peddapalli district of Telangana. The vacant fields of rice-fallow under medium black soils with limited irrigation were selected. Studies were carried out to assess yield and economics of a full package with a new variety, NBeG3 at the farmer's field under cluster front line demonstration (CFLD) for three years (2016–17 to 2018–19). The results of 50 plots each 0.4 ha showed an increase in yield of 46.15, 28.6 and 22.6 per cent over farmer's practice during the year 2016–17, 2017–18 and 2018–19, respectively. Overall means of three years was found to be significantly higher for yield (1447 kg/ha), net profit (Rs. 37998/ha) and B:C ratio (2.3) compared to control. This study revealed the fulfillment of extension yield gap (337 kg/ha) by incurring Rs. 1333/ha which fletched an additional profit of Rs. 14921/ha.
