ABSTRACT
To study the Seed production of rabi crops – an impact of Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLD) with different techniques like use of improved seed, treatment of seed, weed management and insect-pest management on production and productivity of Linseed, Mustard, Pea, Lentil and Gram were conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Patna, Bihar during the year 2016-17. It was observed that variety Shekhar of linseed performed very well as compared to local variety as there was 28.64 % yield gap between both the varieties. In the same manner, mustard variety RNG-48 was found having 31.98 % higher yield in comparison to the local variety. Field pea variety Prakash performed very well as compared to local variety as there was 31.81% yield gap between both the varieties. In the same manner, HUL-57 of Lentil gave 27.08 % higher yield in comparison to the local variety. BG-372 and GNG 1581 variety of Gram showed 27.32 % & 37.63% higher in yield as compared to the local varieties used by farmers of different blocks of Patna district. This study clearly indicates that the use of improved varieties of Linseed, Mustard, Field pea, Lentil and Gram with scientific package and practices can play a major role in improving the quantity of seed production of pulses and may contribute significantly in state and national pulse production programme.
Key words: Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Yield, Rabi crops.
