Abstract
Chick pea is the premier pulse crop widely consumed in India. It is the cheapest source of protein and is the inseparable part of the daily diets of every Indians. It is also play an important role in sustainable agriculture enriching the soil through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh occupies 37800 hectares of land and 16200 tons production with average productivity of 431 kg/ha of chick pea. Looking of fact its productivity is far below the potential yield. Therefore, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sidhi conducted the on farm testing (OFTs) and front line demonstration (FLDs) as technological interventions on improved package of practices of chick pea during 2007-2008 to 2009-2010 in three villages of Sidhi district. The highest grain yield (15.32 q/ha) was recorded in variety JG-226 during the year 2008-2009. In front line demonstration, it was 92.7 per cent higher yield over the farmers practice (7.95 q/ha), however the lowest yield (10.20 q/ha) was recorded in FLD and 6.8 q/ha in farmers practice during the year 2007-2008. The on farm testing and front line demonstration on chick pea an average yield of 13.11 q/ha was recorded and in farmers practice 8.05 q/ha. Thus, the average technology gap, extension gap and technology index of 16.89 q/ha, 5.05 q/ha and 56.30 per cent respectively were obtained between demonstrated and farmers practice during 2007-2008 to 2009-10. The average yield of chick pea increased 62.42 per cent over farmers practice, while the year wise variation in yield increase was 49.8 to 92.7 per cent. The variation in per cent increase in the yield was found due to the lack of knowledge, and poor socio economic condition. Under sustainable agricultural practices, with this study it is concluded that the OFTs and FLDs programmes were effective in changing attitude, skill and knowledge of improved package and practices of HYV of chick pea adoption
