ABSTRACT The Cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) on groundnut were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Darsi, Prakasam Dt during Rabi season of 2019-20 and 2020-21 across an area of 20 ha with 50 demonstrations. Results revealed that per cent increase in demonstration yield over farmers practice was 22.5 and 21.2 during 2019-20 and 2021-22 respectively. Highest B: C ratio (2.14 and 2.03) was realized from demonstration during the study period against B: C ratio of 1.87 and 1.78 in farmers practice. During investigation, average technology gap (10.18 q/ha), average extension gap (6.3 q/ha) and technology index of 33.7 % and 29.7% in respective years was recorded. Increased production and economic returns improved livelihood of farmers. The present study signifies that location specific recommendations must be formulated to narrow down technology gap and encourage beneficiary farmers to adopt full demonstrated technology to lessen extension gap. The technology index warrants horizontal spread. |
