Abstract

The study evaluates the cluster front line demonstrations (CFLDs) conducted under the national food security mission on sesame (RT-351) by 26 KVKs of Rajasthan state. Four thousand one (4001) partner farmers responded to the study during 2016-2020. The CFLDs were undertaken in a 172.00 ha area in 26 districts during these five years. Yield gaps and technology index were calculated under the study. The result shows an extension gap of 1.35 q ha-1 and a technology gap of 2.78 q ha-1. The technology index was found to be 35.11 per cent, while a yield advantage of 36.17 per cent was found in CFLDs. KVKs of Rajasthan state could add Rs. 1.45 crores to the income of partner farmers. The improved variety & better extension services significantly enhanced production and productivity. Participatory approaches in the sesame seed supply chain and institutional linkage were critical for scaling up sustainable technology and improving farmers’ access to quality and sufficiently improved seeds. More capsules per plant and resistance to stem & root rot attracted the farmers. Technical backstopping, supplying of seed, and seed exchange through farmer-to-farmer extension were crucial on a sustainable basis. Regular monitoring by experts and farmers’ feedback is vital for sustained production and productivity improvement of the sesame crop.
拉贾斯坦邦潜在地区芝麻品种(RT-351)产量差距及规模扩大
该研究评估了拉贾斯坦邦26名KVKs在国家芝麻粮食安全任务(RT-351)下进行的集群前线示范(cfld)。在2016-2020年期间,4001名合作农民对这项研究做出了回应。在这五年中,在26个县的一个172.00公顷的地区进行了长期健康监测。计算了产量差距和技术指标。结果表明,扩展差距为1.35 q ha-1,技术差距为2.78 q ha-1。技术指数为35.11%,而cfld的收益率优势为36.17%。拉贾斯坦邦的KVKs可以为合作农民增加145亿卢比的收入。改良的品种和更好的推广服务显著提高了产量和生产力。芝麻供应链中的参与性方法和机构联系对于推广可持续技术和改善农民获得优质和充分改良种子的机会至关重要。每株蒴果多,对根茎腐病的抗性吸引了农民。在可持续的基础上,技术支持、种子供应和通过农民对农民的推广进行种子交换至关重要。专家的定期监测和农民的反馈对芝麻作物的持续生产和生产力的提高至关重要。
