Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
Sidhi is situated in Kaymore plateau and satpura hills of Madhya Pradesh. Paddy is one of the major kharif crop grown in Sidhi district. Krishi Vigyan Kendra laid down Front Line Demonstration in the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 introducing new, high yielding and scented variety “Pusa Sugandha-4†and applying recommended package and practices in their cultivation. The FLDs were carried out in village “Dainiha†of Sidhi district in supervision of krishi vigyan Kendra agronomy scientist. The productivity and economic returns of paddy in recommended package and practices were calculated and compared with the corresponding farmer’s practices (local check). Improved practices gave higher yield as compared to farmer’s practices. The improved technology observed higher yield of 33.21 q/ha and 34.00 q/ha in the year 2010-11 and 2011-12, respectively than 19.13 and 20.21 q/ha. The average yield increase was observed 41.48 per cent. In spite of increase in yield of paddy, technology gap, extension gap and technology index existed. The improved technology gave higher gross return (39852 & 40800 Rs./ha), net return (19652 & 20600 Rs./ha) with higher benefit cost ratio (1.97 & 2.02) as compared to farmer’s practices. The variation in percent increase in the yield was observed due to the poor management practices, lack of knowledge and poor socio economic status. Under sustainable agricultural practices, with this study it is concluded that the FLDs programmes were effective in changing attitude, skill and knowledge of improved package and practices of HYV of paddy adoption.
