Economics of demonstration Vs farmers’ practice in groundnut Cluster FLDs in YSR District
The technology gap ranged between 782 kg ha -1 to 245 kg ha -1 which further indicates that
there is greater scope of productivity enhancement in subsequent years through transfer of
BMPs from research stations to farmers fields. The technology index which indicates the extent
of feasibility of improved technology of the demonstrations ranged from lowest (15.3 per cent)
during 2018-19 to highest (48.9 per cent) during 2017-18 with average technology index of
32.1 per cent. The variations might be attributed to variations in level of soil nutrients, soil
moisture availability, incidence of pests and diseases, integrated nutrient, pest and disease
management strategies in the study area.
Conclusion
The CFLDs conducted by KVK enhanced the yield of groundnut vertically and ensured rapid
spread of recommended technologies of groundnut production horizontally by implementation
of various extension activities like training programmes, field days, exposure visits organized
in farmer’s field. The CFLDs made a positive impact on yield of groundnut by 15.4 per cent.
It was observed that the potential yield of groundnut var. dharani can be achieved by imparting
scientific knowledge to the farmers on BMPs, providing the quality need-based inputs and their
proper utilization. The recipient farmers of CFLD also play an important role as source of
information on BPs and quality seeds for wider dissemination of the improved varieties of
groundnut for other nearby farmers.
