abstract
KVKs organised farming and extension activities for farmers and extension workers to demonstrate the production potential of newly released technologies on the farmer's fields at a different location in a given farming system, and they conducted Cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) to demonstrate the production potential of newly released technologies on the farmer's fields at a different location in a given farming system. Frontline Cluster Summer moong demonstrations were held by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, JNKVV, For the demonstrations, a Moong type of medium duration MH 421 was used. Farmers used a wide range of techniques, such as IPM practices, biofertilizer treatment, Trichoderma viride, fertilizer administration based on soil test results, and seed rate. Front-line demonstration findings showed that farmers' practices increased moong output by 24 percent. It was also discovered that front-line demonstrations had a larger gross and net return than local checks, according to the statistics. In CFLD, gross and net returns were determined to be Rs. 82685 and Rs. 59185, respectively, whereas in farmer's practises, they were Rs. 68305 and Rs. 46505. It was also observed from the data of front line demonstration recorded higher gross return and net return as compared to local check.
