Abstract

Frontline demonstrations (FLDs) programme is one of the approaches for disseminating technology generated through research. The programme which started with the conduct of 220 ha demonstrations in both Kharif and Rabi season during 1996-97, now enhanced to more than 5000 ha, seeing the success of the programme in terms of adoption of recently released hybrids and varieties by the farmers. The results revealed that with the exploitation of the currently available sorghum production technologies, farmers could realize additional yield more than 50 percent over the prevailing farmer’s practices under wide range of agro-ecological sorghum growing regions.
