Abstract
The Cluster Front Line Demonstration (CFLD) on Greengram was conducted in 50 locations during two consecutive years 2019-20 and 2020-21 in 3 villages namely K. P. Valasa, Kongaram and Ambavilli of Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh, during Rabi season 2019-20 and 2020- 21 under rice fallow conditions to demonstrate yield and economic benefit of improved technology in crop management and taking up of complete package of practices for greengram. The findings of the study discovered that enhanced technology (ICM) recorded the mean yield of 494 kg/ha which was 30.8 per cent increased than obtained in farmers’ practice (377.5 kg/ha). Superior mean net income of Rs.19390/ha with a Benefit : Cost ratio of 2.2 was obtained with ICM technologies in contrast to farmers’ practices (Rs. 12758/ha). Further, it was also revealed that the taking up of enhanced technologies notably augmented the yield as well as yield attributing characters of greengram crop and also the net returns of the farmers. Hence, there is an urgent requirement to spread the enhanced technologies among the farmers with efficient extension methods like training and demonstrations. The farmers’ be supposed to be encouraged to take on the recommended package of practices for realizing higher net returns.
