International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

the potential yield <strong>of</strong> Sabour Makhana-1 (33.5 q ha -1 , demonstration yield, technology gap<br />

and technology index in technology dissemination in adopted village under the objective <strong>of</strong><br />

flood vulnerability <strong>of</strong> NICRA programme. The farmers were guided by KVK scientists in<br />

respect <strong>of</strong> package <strong>of</strong> practices to be followed during the crop season. The data on output <strong>of</strong><br />

improved variety was recorded. Technology gap and technology index were calculated using<br />

following formula as suggested by Samui et al. (2000).<br />

Technology gap (kg ha -1 ) = Potential yield - Demonstration yield<br />

Technology Index (%) = Potential yield - Demonstration yield / Potential yield X 100<br />

Results<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> demonstration revealed that average nut yield <strong>of</strong> 27.24 q ha -1 were obtained<br />

during 2021-22. The technological gap (9.2 q ha -1 ) during 2021-22, reflected the farmer’s<br />

cooperation in carrying out such demonstrations. The technology gap observed may be<br />

attributed to variability in soil fertility and climatic conditions. More adoption <strong>of</strong> recent<br />

production technologies with high yielding varieties would subsequently change with timeto-time<br />

brain storming <strong>of</strong> stakeholders. The technology index showed the feasibility <strong>of</strong> the<br />

evolved technology at the selected field <strong>of</strong> village. The lowest values (27.46 %) <strong>of</strong><br />

technology index indicate the more feasibility <strong>of</strong> the technology. The average net return/ha<br />

from the demonstration was Rs. 1,58,150/- and total return Rs.12,65,200/- from demonstrated<br />

land <strong>of</strong> adopted village under NICRA programme.<br />

Conclusion<br />

The result finds out that yield <strong>of</strong> makhana crop could be increased with the intervention <strong>of</strong><br />

newly released variety Sabour Makhana-1 under water logged area due to the effect <strong>of</strong> flood<br />

hence, adopting integrated approach in cultivation <strong>of</strong> makhana will increase the income as<br />

well as the livelihood <strong>of</strong> the farmers.<br />
