Abstract

Field demonstrations were conducted on drought tolerant short duration moth bean variety with improved production technologies by Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Villupuram, Tamil Nadu for increase the productivity and sustainability. A total of 15 field demonstrations were conducted out at farmer’s field by introducing short duration drought tolerant moth bean variety TMV 1during Rabi2023-24. The farmers are using local variety for their cultivation used as the check variety (farmer’s practice) for comparison. An average yield of 1060kgs/ha was recorded from TMV 1 demonstrations which showed 12.67 % increase over the farmers practice (941.12 kg/ha). The farmershave obtained additional revenue of Rs. 14,110 /ha from varietal demonstrations with improved production practices, which may motivate the farmers to adopt TMV 1 variety with the improved pulse production technologies. These type field demonstrations on introduction of short drought tolerant variety effectively influenced the attitudes, skills, and knowledge related to improved practices in pulses cultivation, fostering adoption. It also enhances the productivity and farmers income and improves the relationship between farmers and scientists.
