ABSTRACT
For impact study and to increase the productivity of clusterbean, a high yielding variety RGC-936 was evaluated at farmers' fields of Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan in four adopted villages namely- Chandan, Delasar, Dhaisar and Javandh of Jaisalmer block. After conducting trainings 134 demonstrations were conducted at farmers' fields. Demonstration plots gave significantly higher yield (6.85 q/ha) over farmer practices (5.57 q/ha) and overall per cent increase in yield was 23.86 with B:C ratio of 1: 5.53. The area of clusterbean was found highest at Delasar (75.81 %) followed by Dhaisar (71.79 %), Chandan (70.80 %), and Javandh (64.68%).
Key words :
