Assessment of frontline demonstration technology on fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) in cultivation Jhajjar, Haryana
Keywords:
Economics, Seed yield, Technology dissemination, Frontline demonstrationsAbstract
Front line demonstrations on fenugreek (variety AFg-5) were conducted by krishi vigyan kendra, Jhajjar during 2022-23 and 2023-24 with ten farmer’s field each year. FLD was conducted with farmers’ active participation to disseminate improved technology of fenugreek to achieve potential production along with interventions of high yielding variety, seed treatment, recommended dose of fertilizers and non-monetary inputs. Front line demonstration data were recorded to plant height (cm), number of branches/ plants, pest incidence (%) and seed yield (q/ha) as compared to the farmer’s practice. The improved variety AFg-5 recorded the higher seed yield (15.90 and 17.20 q/ha) than local variety during 2022-23 and 2023-24, respectively. The experiment exhibited mean extension gap of 2.0 q/ha, technology gap of 3.45 q/ha with 17.25% of technology index. The improved technology gave higher economic attributes and benefit-cost ratio 2.89 as compared to check variety (2.59). The FLD made a positive and significant efficacy of fenugreek seed yield than local cultivar.
