Toria is an important rabi oilseed crop in Udalguri district of Assam. In Kharif season, farmers of Udalguri district mainly grow long duration rice as mono crop in rainfed situation. Till rice is harvested, it already becomes late for sowing normal sown varieties of Toria. Udalguri district has a sizeable area under toria cultivation, but the productivity is very low. The reasons of low productivity can be related to the poor knowledge about the new technologies (cultivation and soil management practices) of most of the farmers. Due to such circumstances, a demonstration has been conducted using late sown Toria variety (TS-67) using Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) with the objective to convert the area into a double cropping system as well increase farmers income, to decrease the deficit of oil in the district. The study was carried out through participatory cluster front line demonstration (CFLD) during rabi season of 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 at four different villages of Udalguri district under north bank plain zone of Assam on farmers field with an objective to evaluate the performances of late-sown Toria variety TS-67 as compared to the farmers practice.
