To increase the productivity of Isabgol (Plantago ovata), high yielding isabgol variety RI 89 was evaluated at farmer's field during Rabi 2010-11. Thirty demonstrations were conducted at farmer's field at village Balera, Katarala, Rohilla, Bhilo ki Basti, Golia Jaitmal, Bhimda and Nand. Grain yield of Isabgol variety RI 89 under improved practices was 8.32q/ha increased significantly by 25 per cent over farmers practice (control). In terms of monitory return, the net gain per hectare was Rs. 28780/-and was Rs. 6500/-higher by investing additionally Rs. 2300/-. During this period extension activity like field days, farmer's trainings, literature, short messages services, diagnostic visits etc were undertaken which benefitted the farmers. With the improved package of practices fetched a higher B:C ratio of 2.25 while farmers practice gave 2.16. The yield range in improved practice was 4.85 q/ha-10.44 q/ha while under farmers practice it ranged from 4.05 q/ha to 8.28 q/ha. In improved package of practices, input supplied to farmers were improved seed, seed treatment chemicals and bio fertilizers particularly phosphate solubilizing bacteria. During crop period and after harvest the crop period the reaction of farmers about critical input supplied under demonstration was asked and they replied good seed germination and early maturity of the variety than local seeds. While the farmers suggested shattering tolerance varieties should be developed and major constrains was the unavailability of newly released seeds on time.Keywords

Krishi Vigyan Kendra conducted front line demonstration on Moong variety SML668/IPM02-03/RMG268/GM04 at farmers fields in district Barmer during years 2009-2014. The productivity and economic returns of Moong in demonstrated plots were calculated and compared with the corresponding local check. The data obtained was pooled for five years. It was observed that on an average 35.04 per cent higher grain yield was recorded in demonstration plots than the local check. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 1.67 q/ha, 1.436 q/ha and 22.818 q/ha, respectively. An additional investment of Rs. /ha coupled with scientific monitoring of demonstration and non-monetary factors resulted in additional return of Rs. 16576/ha over the farmers practices. Fluctuating minimum selling price of moong during different years influenced the economic returns per unit area.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Gudhamalani, Panchayat Samiti, Barmer district of Rajasthan. From Panchayat Samiti was selected maximum number (70) of Front Line Demonstrations on cumin crop conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Danta, Barmer district during the last five years (2006-07 to 2010-11). The results revealed that the average yield recorded in the FLDs field and farmer's field was 5.93 and 4.35 q/ha-1 during 2010-2011, respectively and FLDs field and farmer's field lowest yield was 4.22 and 3.41 q/ha-1 during 2006-2007, respectively. The result showed 23 to 37 per cent yield increase in FLDs over farmers practice during 2006-07 to 2010-2011. Therefore, front line demonstration programme was an effective tool for increasing the productivity of cumin and changing knowledge, attitude and skill of farmers. This created greater awareness and motivated the other farmers to adopt improved practices of cumin.Keywords

Women participate in every area of sheep husbandry. More specifically, their participation was high in areas like management of sheep, cleaning and management of sheep, health care, preparation of feeds and feeding and low in areas like construction of sheep yard, breeding and purchasing and procurement of feeds. The study showed that the women need more training in selection of sheep, management of sheep, health care, and cleaning and management of sheep. They preferred training of 2-3 days duration in their home village during the period January to April. Lack of time, inadequate compensation, venue and lack of awareness about training programmes were some of the constraints they faced in attending training courses. Therefore, training programmes may be arranged and conducted based on the needs of the women to enhance their knowledge and confidence in sheep rearing.Keywords

The women’s contribution in the farming sector with respect to participation and decision making has largely been ignored. Though women performed more than four-fifth of agricultural work, their decision were accepted less than one-third of the case. The objective of present study were to find out women and their role in farming decision. The present study was conducted in Barmer district of Rajasthan. There are 3 block namely Barmer, Sheo, Chohtan. Forty women from each block were selected randomly thus making a total sample of 120 were interviewed with structure interviewed schedule. Results revealed that the male member of the family participated in decision making process of farm activities. This is not surprising because the joint family system is still prevalent where women have no role to play in decision making. In case of selection of seeds, quality of seeds, type of pesticide, time of harvesting, vaccination, calving of animals, foods of animals, maintenance of agricultural equipment, applying fertilizer, all decision were taken by elder person of the family. In all these cases women’s decision was almost negligible. Further, more than 50 per cent of decision in the area of home science were taken by the women such as preservation of fruits and vegetables, food to be cooked, income of the family, saving in the family and child care practices. Further it showed that although women earned and saved the money by working in the field but their decisions were still centered to the kitchen only. It was also concluded that in financial matter, the involvement of women was less.Keywords
