ABSTRACT
A technology demonstration of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) was aimed to improve the production after bringing improved variety cultivation with the scientific package and practices in Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh. Studies were carried out to assess yield and economics of a improved variety, TJT-501 at the farmer's field at the adopted villages of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Govingnagar, Hoshangabad during kharif 2018-19 and 2019-20 under Cluster front line demonstration (CFLD). The demonstration plot exhibited higher yield as compared to farmers plot. An average yield of pigeonpea in the demonstrated plot was 13.91q/ha as compare to farmers practices 7.58 q/ha in the two years of pooled data. The improved technology gives the higher return ` 79828/ha with the high benefit : cost ratio 3.62 as farmer's practices. The observed extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 6.34 q/ha, 4.09 q/ha and 21%, respectively. The improved variety with scientific package of practices and technical guidance contributed to increase production of pigeonpea mad profitability of the farmers of the district.
