The present study was carried out to know that the yield gaps between improved package and practices and farmers practice of rapeseed-mustard crop. Front line demonstrations on mustard variety PusaTarak were conducted at farmers’ fields in district Seoni (Madhya Pradesh) during Rabi seasons of the year 2016-17 & 2017-18 On two years overall average basis about 46.56 per cent higher grain yield was recorded under demonstrations than the farmers’ traditional practices. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 575.5 kg/ ha, 184.5 Kg/ha and 9.24 %, respectively. An additional investments of Rs.1165 per ha coupled with scientific monitoring of demonstrations and non-monetary factors resulted in additional return of Rs. 17265 per ha. On two years overall average basis Incremental benefit: Cost ratio was found as 14.94.By conducting front line demonstration of proven technologies, yield potential from rapeseed –mustard cultivation can be enhanced to a great extent with increase in the income level of the farming community.
