The field experiments on green gram was carried out during four consecutive years 2016 to 2019 at farmer’s field of Bikaner districts under cluster frontline demonstrations conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bikaner to evaluate improved technology for enhancing the productivity and economics of green gram crop. Two treatments were evaluated at 25 farmers and comprised of improved technology (i.e. high yielding varieties, seed treatment, timely sowing, recommended fertilizer management, plant protection measures and irrigation management compared with farmer’s practice. Results revealed that improved technology demonstration gave higher and sustainable yield of green gram over the years compared to farmers practice. The mean yield recorded (811 kg ha-1) which was 24.39 percent higher as compared to farmers practice (652 kg/ha). Sustainability of green gram yield reflects the higher sustainability yield index (0.662) and sustainability value index (0.517) Improved technology posses higher water expense efficiency (54.0 kg ha-cm-1) and incremental benefit cost ratio (7.4) over farmers practice.
