Chilli is one of the important commercial crops which play a major role in supplementing the income to small and marginal farmers of Mokokchung district. However, the major constraints of traditional chilli cultivation are low productivity due to use of inferior seeds and non-adoption of recommended package of practices. To solve these problems, front line demonstrations were conducted at farming situations with participation of farmers. The cultivation practices in these FLDs (i.e. use of improved cultivars, proper nursery raising, balanced fertilizer application etc.) increased the yield by 14.93 per cent, on average as compared to the farmers practice (7.7 q/ha). The highest extension gap was 1.35 q/ha while the technology index, which is inversely correlated to the feasibility of the improved technology in the farmers' fields was 27.6 per cent. The adoption of improved technology under FLDs resulted in higher gross returns (Rs.54300/ha), net returns (Rs.29200/ha) and benefit:cost ratio (1:2.16) as compared to farmers' practice.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Mokokchung district of Nagaland. Purposively eight villages were selected from four selected rural development (RD) blocks. From those eight villages 200 respondents were selected randomly. The study reveals that the major constrains of high quality protein maize production was noted in non-availability of quality seed by 89.50 per cent of the respondents which comes under infrastructural constraint.Keywords

The ex-post facto study was conducted in Mokokchung district of Nagaland to know the problem faced by the Naga King Chilli growers in Mokokchung district of Nagaland”. Further 140 farmers were selected from different villages in two different blocks under Mokokchung. Results revealed from the study that lack of proper post harvest storage of Naga King chilli (90.00 %) was found the most problematic area faced by majority of the Naga King chilli growers.Keywords
