Abstract:
Wheat is very important cereal crop in India. The Kathia goon which is also called as durum wheat, was the predominant wheat species grown in central India. Major constraint for lower productivity in the district is low adoption of improved technologies. On Farm Trials are the better means for increasing productivity of wheat crop in the district over the existing one. The present study was undertaken to find out the yield gap through On Farm Trial (OFT) on wheat crop. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Lalitpur conducted 20 trials to assess the durum Wheat variety Pusa Mangal (HI 8713) in Bundelkhand region in 2018-19 to 2019-20 in adopted villages. Prevailing farmers’ practices were treated as control for comparison with recommended practices. The per cent increase in yield over control was 66.6 and 20.0 during 2018-19 and 2019-20, respectively. The average technology gap and index were found to be 17.2 and 25.22 per cent.
