Impact of Frontline Demonstration in Adoption of Chickpea Production Technology by the Farmers of Sehore District, Madhya Pradesh, India

Abstract

Front Line demonstrations (FLDs) is a unique approach to provide an direct interface between researcher and farmers as the scientists are directly involved in planning, execution and monitoring of the demonstrations for the technologies developed by them and get direct feedback from the farmers. In the response of transfer of technology the recommendation of modern (improved) chickpea production technology a great emphasis was being paid by both the scientist and extension workers to boost up the productivity of chickpea in the area. In the present study an attempt has been made to examine the impact of frontline demonstration of chickpea in district Sehore where agricultural scientist had been conducted this programme at farm level. In case level of knowledge, as observed in low and medium category chickpea growers, found higher in non FLD adopter than FLD adopter whereas level of adoption, as observed in partial and incomplete category chickpea growers, found higher in non FLD adopter than FLD adopter.
