The results of the demonstration indicated that demonstration of integrated crop management practices along with improved variety recorded higher grain yield of 7.28 q/ha and farmers practice recorded the lower yield of 6.07 q/ha. The increase in grain yield of chickpea over farmers practice was 19.9 per cent. The extension gap of 1.21 q/ha recorded for grain yield between demonstration and farmers practice indicated that dissemination of integrated crop management practices including improved variety through demonstration is needed among the chickpea growers for achieving higher yield thereby income.
