Abstract

The 133 Frontline demonstrations were organized on 54 farmer’s field to demonstrate the impact of integrated crop management technology on Pigeonpea productivity over four years during Kharif 2010-10 to 2013-14. Each frontline demonstration was laid out on 0.4ha area, adjacent 0.4ha was considered as control for comparison (farmer’s practice). The integrated crop management technology comprised the improved variety TS3R, proper tillage, proper seed rate, pre emergent weedicide application, seed treatment with bio fertilizers and Trichoderma, proper nutrient and pest management. The productivity gain under FLD over existing practices of pigeonpea cultivation created greater awareness and motivated the other farmers to adopt suitable production technology of Ts-3R pigeon pea in the district. The results revealed that due to front line demonstration on Pigeon pea an average yield was recorded 11.9 q/ ha under demonstrated plots as compared farmers practice 10.1q/ha. The highest yield in the FLD plot was 13.62 q/ha in 2013-14 with net returns of Rs.34, 883 compared to check trial net return of Rs. 26,194.
