Conclusion
It was concluded that the yield of the Moth bean crop and net income of the Moth bean farmers
were increased by the cultivation of TMV 1 variety of Moth bean along with integrated crop
management practices under rainfed condition. To favor the climate change and dew fall, utilize
crop without any irrigation. The farmers feel the subside of complex pest and diseases when
compare to other pulse crops. The farmers were impressed with the performance of improved
variety and crop booster which motivated other farmers to adopt the same at large scale and area
extended up to 20 per cent.

The demonstration was conducted during kharif season 2017-18 and 2018-19 year under
NICRA project at ATTA village, Block - Jaura, District- Morena (MP) where 26
Demonstrations on pigeonpea crop were carried out an area of 10.40 ha by the active
participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the improved technologies in
pigeon pea to exploit production potential. The improved technologies consisted of use of
improved wilt resistant variety, seed treatment with Rhizobium culture, balanced fertilizer
application and integrated pest management. Frontline demonstrations (FLDs) recorded high
yield as compared to farmer’s local practice. The improved technology recorded higher yield
of 22.10 q ha -1 compared to 17.20 q ha -1 in farmer’s local practice. In spite of increase in
yield, technological gap, extension gap existed. The improved technologies gave higher gross
return, net return higher benefit/cost ratio then farmer’s practices.
