Abstract: The present study was conducted under CFLD at the farmers’ fields under the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Ramagirikhilla, Peddapalli District operational area for three kharif seasons during 2016-17 to 2019-20 covering 169 locations. The demonstrated technology delineated the practices of improved selection (PRG-176), seed treatment with Rhizobium @ 250 g acre-I, soil application of Trichoderma viridii @ 2kg acre-I mixing with FYM @ one hundred kilo acre-I and plant protection measures with installation of pheromone traps @ four per acre, spraying of neem oil @one liter acre-I and Profenofos 50 EC @ 400ml acre-I. The result of demonstration showed higher productivity notably as 15.91 q ha-I compared to the farmers practice (13.42 q ha-I) with a mean increase of 19.50%. Technology index and technology gap values were 59.57 per cent and 4.08 q ha-I respectively. The results conjointly unconcealed that the typical increase within the net return with demonstration was 55248 Rs. ha-I and 40651 Rs. ha-I over farmers practice respectively. Similarly, mean benefit cost ratio was recorded with demonstration as 2.63 compared to farmers practice (2.18) throughout the years of trial. Adoption of improved technology as well as new selection, timely supply of essential inputs with correct steering by the human, frequent watching visits to fields diagnose the issues and take applicable corrective measures, field days etc., can be the contributive factors for prime yield with smart quality in all told demonstration plots.
