Enhancing the production potential and socio-economic level of farmers, 138 front line demonstrations on chickpea were laid out during the year 2015-16 and 2016-17. Area under the demonstration was 50.56 hectare comprising 138 farmer’s of six villages Ramukhedi, Setkhedi, Khudel, Baroda Doulat, Gariya and Akya of district Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Under the technology dissemination programme recommended intervention i.e. suitable variety, integrated nutrient management, integrated pest management were attempted. Recommended practice recorded mean yield of 14.40 q/ha, which was 30.11 per cent higher over the farmers practices (11.06 q/ha). Additional cost under the intervention of Rs. 2740 to 1919 gave additional net return of Rs. 10,917 to Rs. 15,046 per hectare. Higher side benefit: cost ratio (2.4-2.51) was recorded during both the year of study. The extension gap was observed between 3.01 to 3.6 q/ha. The favourable cost benefit ratio exhibited the feasibility of technology demonstrated.Keywords

Marigold has earned tremendous popularity as floral crop in Madhya Pradesh particularly at Indore district where it is being commercially cultivated as loose flower at around 2300 hectare in open field condition. With the objectives to address the problem of low yield with poor quality flower of marigold leading to lower economic returns, an assessment of integrated nutrient management with bio fertilizer application in marigold under open field condition was attempted during year 2015-16 and 2016-17 by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kasturbagram consisting 10 innovative farmers with three treatment, including farmers practice T1 (NPK @ 60-90-32 kg/hac), recommended practice T2 (NPK 200 kg-100 kg-80+20 tonnes FYM/ha) and modified recommended practice T3 (NPK @ 150 kg-100 kg-80 kg + Azotobacter and PSB @ 5 kg/Hac+20 tonnes FYM/ha ). Out of three treatment, flower yield under the modified recommended practice (105.1 q/ha) was significantly higher than recommended practice (99.23 q/ha) followed by farmers practice (86.40 q/ha). Similarly gross income (Rs. 157650.00), net return (Rs. 96156.00) and BC ratio (2.56) under modified recommended practice were also recorded significantly higher over recommended practice (T2) and farmers practice (T1). Flower diameter in terms of centimetre was recorded highest (3.39 cm) under refinement (T2) followed by recommended (T2) 3.06 cm and farmer’s practice (T1) 2.45 cm.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at KVK, Indore to study the effect of different land configuration on the yield of soybean. The experiment consisted of three treatments of land configuration, viz., T1 (FIRBS layout), T2 (Ridge and furrow layout), T3 (BBF layout), under RBD design with seven replications. Result showed that significant increase was observed in yield contributing characters viz., number of pods plant-1, 100 seed weight (g), seed yield (q ha-1) and harvest index (%) in FIRBS layout as compared to ridges and furrow and broad bed furrow. The net return is the best index of profitability of soybean crop and higher net return per ha of Rs. 24699 was recorded for soybean crop under the FIRBS whereas lower net return per ha of Rs. 20808 was recorded under BBF land configuration.Keywords

The farmer’s field front line demonstrations were conducted during Kharif season 2014 to 2016 for soybean crop to demonstrate raised bed seed cum fertilizer drill and simple seed drill. Raised bed seed cum fertilizer drill was found better in term of growth characters and yield of soybean in comparison with simple seed drill sowing machine. The net return is the best index of profitability of soybean crop and higher net return per ha of Rs. 25246 was recorded for soybean crop under raised bed seed cum fertilizer drill whereas lower net return per ha of Rs. 17410 was recorded under normal seed drill sowing and yield was found 1440 and 1191 kg/ha, respectively.Keywords

Onion is being cultivated at around 14.34 thousand hectare with production of 440.28 thousand tonnes (2015-16) in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh. It is being grown mainly for storage or direct sale to the market. Maximum area (95 %) under onion cultivation was recorded 13.600 thousand hac with production of 429.90 thousand tonnes during Rabi season. Out of 429.90 thousand tonnes of total production hardily 20 per cent (87.10 thousand tonnes ) was stored under different storage structure and 72 per cent (278.315 thousand tonnes) onion were sold out directly to the market within 15 days of harvesting and remaining 15 per cent ( 64.485 thousand tonnes) recorded as post harvest losses. As a result during March to May prices of onion rule very low due to glut situation, thereafter, the rise in prices is quite rapid and sometimes wide fluctuation come about. Through intervention of technology by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kasturbagram as pre-harvest and post harvest technology management, enhancement of self-life and promotion of farmer’s feasible storage structure were laid out with the help of Department of Horticulture, Government of Madhya Pradesh for promotion of onion storage warehouse.Keywords
