The present study was carried out at Dholpur district of Eastern Rajasthan during 2012-13. Pea is one of the most important vegetable crops of the country. The development of the Agriculture is primarily depends on the application of the scientific technologies by making the best use of available resources. One of the major constraints of traditional pea farming is low productivity because of non-adoption of advanced technologies. To increase the production, productivity and quality of agricultural produce, Front Line Demonstrations are being conducted at various farmer's field. All the recommended Practices were provided to the selected farmers. The data related to the cost of cultivation, production, productivity, gross return and net return were collected as per schedule and analyzed. Result of the present study revealed that the high yielding variety of Pea Ajad Pea-1 recorded the higher yield (69.5 q/ha) as compared to local check (54.5 q/ha) traditionally grown by the farmers. The percentage increase in the yield over local check 27.52 was recorded.The technology gap in terms of productivity (5.5 q/ha) were computed. The technology index values 7.33 per cent was recorded.The result of the study indicated the gap existed in the potential yield and demonstration yield is due to soil fertility and weather conditions. By conducting front line demonstration (FLDs) of proven technologies, yield potential of pea can be increased upto great extent. This will substantially increase the income as well as the livelihood of the farming community.Keywords

The present study was carried out at Bharatpur district of Eastern Rajasthan during Rabi 2015-16. Fennel is one of the most important seed spice crops of the country. The development of the agriculture is primarily depends on the application of the scientific technologies by making the best use of available resources. One of the major constraints of traditional fennel farming is low productivity because of non-adoption of advanced technologies. To increase the production, productivity and quality of agricultural produce, front line demonstrations were conducted at various farmer’s field. All the recommended practices were provided to the selected farmers. The data related to the cost of cultivation, production, productivity, gross return and net return were collected as per schedule and analyzed. Result of the present study revealed that the high yielding variety of fennel R.F. -143 recorded the higher yield (19.21 q/ha) as compared to farmers practice (16.50 q/ha) traditionally adopted by the farmers. The percentage increase in the yield over farmers practice 16.42 was recorded.The technology gap in terms of productivity(1.79 q/ha.) was computed. The technology index values 8.52 per cent was recorded.The result of the study indicated the gap existed in the potential yield and demonstration >yield is due to soil fertility and weather conditions. By conducting front line demonstration (FLDs) of proven technologies, yield potential of fennel can be increased upto great extent. This will substantially increase the income as well as the livelihood of the farming community.

The Present study was carried out at Bharatpur district of Eastern Rajasthan during 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15. Potato is one of the most important vegetable crops of the country. The development of the agriculture is primarily depends on the application of the scientific technologies by making the best use of available resources. One of the major constraints of traditional potato farming is low productivity because of non-adoption of advanced technologies to protect the crop from frost. To increase the production, productivity and quality of agricultural produce, on farm testing are being conducted at various farmer’s field. All the recommended practices were provided to the selected farmers. The data related to the cost of cultivation, production, productivity, gross return and net return were collected as per schedule and analyzed. Result of the present study revealed that the application of concentrated H2SO4 @ 1.0 ml/l water on standing crop recorded the higher yield (307.0 q/ha) as compared to application of thio-urea @ 0.1 per cent on standing crop (294.50 q/ha) and control (265.06 q/ha). The percentage increase in the yield over control 15.82 was recorded.The technology gap in terms of productivity(43.00 q/ha.) were computed. The technology index values 12.28 per cent was recorded.The result of the study indicated the gap existed in the potential yield and demonstration yield is due to soil fertility and weather conditions. By conducting on farm testing of proven technologies of saving the crop by low temperature, yield potential of potato can be increased upto great extent. This will substantially increase the income as well as the livelihood of the farming community.

The central alluvial plains of Gujarat, western India, consist of deposits of north–south flowing rivers from the Aravalli hills. The Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad districts in the state form a part of the Cambay basin and are occupied by Quaternary alluvium comprising mainly of sand, gravel, silt clay, kankar, etc. Direct current (DC) electrical resistivity studies have been carried out at six sites in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad cities to map groundwater levels and major shallow subsurface geoelectric layers using a 72-electrode resistivity imaging system. Two dimensional (2D) resistivity models and borehole data infer a multilayered aquifer system in Ahmedabad. The top confined aquifer is at a depth of 22–25 m and the second unconfined aquifer is at a 60–65 m depth. These two aquifers are separated by highly compacted clay/clayey sand. For the two locations in Ahmedabad city, the 2D resistivity model suggests 10–15 m variation in the groundwater level. In Gandhinagar, as the survey location is close to the Sabarmati River and the exploitation of groundwater is less than in Ahmedabad, the groundwater table is at shallow level. Further, the resistivity estimates suggest that, at all three locations, the groundwater is moderately saline. The infer resistivity sections are correlated with groundwater level and borehole dataKeywords
