Abstract
The study aimed at assessing the performance of cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) on Greengram in terms of yield, extension gap, technological gap and economic gains during Kharif, 2022 with variety WGG-42 in 10 ha area and Rabi, 2022- 2023 with IPM 2-14 in 30 ha. The data revealed that demo plot varieties recorded higher yield i.e., 8.32 q/ha and 11.73 q/ha, which was 32.20 and 18.70% more compared to farmers practice 6.29 q/ha and 9.88 q/ha during kharif and rabi, respectively. Besides, higher net returns (Rs. 19,102, Rs. 41,906 per ha) and B:C ratio (1.62, 1.98) were also registered with demonstration plot compared to farmers practice (Rs.7,735, Rs. 29,680 per ha and 1.26,1.71) during Kharif and Rabi, respectively.
