Yield Gap Analysis of Black Gram under front Line Demonstration Program in Western Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

This research endeavors to conduct a comprehensive yield gap analysis on black gram cultivation in Western Uttar Pradesh. The productivity and yield potential of urd crops in Western Uttar Pradesh face certain challenges due to various technological gaps and the limited adoption of advanced agricultural practices. In order to bridge these gaps and enhance the agricultural extension services, a Frontline Demonstration (FLD) program has been initiated. The study relies on data sourced from the annual reports published by SVP University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut, ATARI Zone III to compile a comprehensive list of Key Variables of Success (KVSs) pertinent to FLDs on black gram. The performance evaluation provides nuanced insights into the strengths and areas for improvement in technology dissemination and adoption among farmers associated with these KVKs. The findings underscore the need for targeted enhancements to bridge the gaps between demonstrated and potential yields, fostering sustainable agricultural advancements in these regions.
