摘要

India holds the second position in the world for the groundnut production wherein Gujarat is the leading producer. The Saurashtra region of Gujarat which includes the districts of Junagadh, Jamnagar, Amreli, Gir-Somnath and Rajkot, is known as the “groundnut bowl of India”. According to research, the productivity of groundnut in India shows a downward trend due to declining area under cultivation, erratic rainfall and changing cropping patterns. For improving productivity and profitability of farmers of Saurashtra region of Gujarat, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Rajkot-II (Pipalia) conducted 60 front line demonstrations in 24 ha area covering six villages of KVK jurisdiction. Improved quality seeds, biofertilizers and other practices for white grub management were demonstrated to farmers. The average yield recorded in the demonstration and local check plots was 2768.33 kg/ha and 2318.33 kg/ha respectively. There was 19.56% yield increment observed in the demonstrated plot as compared to farmers’ practices. Gross return, net return and Benefit–Cost ratio were recorded higher under demonstration plots against farmers’ plots in all the years of study. Overall yield gap analysis showed that technology gap was higher than the extension gap and there is need to create appropriate location-specific research plans and policies to build this gap.
