Abstract
The technology assessment and demonstration programme on chickpea was carried by KVKs for demonstrating production potential of newly developed technologies of chickpea at farmers’ fields in the country. 836 demonstrations on chickpea were organized in rainfed conditions of 18 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Technology modules were prepared including all the recommended package of practices. Technology performance in respect to productivity and per unit area profitability from chickpea was taken up as important intervention. On an average 17.77 q/ha yield was realized by the farmers under demonstration which was significantly higher as compared to local check, state and national average yield. More than 16 q/ ha yield was provided by DCP 92-3, Pusa 362, Pusa 256, RSG- 888, GNG-663 and Awarodhi varieties of chickpea. More than Rs. 37000 per ha of net return was obtained with the cultivation of DCP 92-3, GNG- 663, Pusa 362 and Awarodhi cultivars. On an average, 60% increased income was accrued to the farmers as compared to local check. The technology dissemination model developed and utilized for scientific demonstrations of chickpea, played a great role for enhancing productivity and net return to the farmers along with creating a platform for interface with different stakeholders. This paper discusses performance of chickpea in different agro-eco and cropping systems
