In order to ascertain the impact of soybean front line demonstrations in terms of change in knowledge and adoption of soybean production technology on demonstrator and non demonstrator farmers, the present study was carried out by selecting 73 demonstrator and 70 non-demonstrator farmers from 14 villages in the jurisdiction of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Karda of Risod Panchayat Samiti of Washim district in Maharashtra state. The demonstrator farmers were found to be high in productivity of soybean crop, use of sources of information, extension contact, cosmopoliteness, scientific orientation and economic motivation than non-demonstrator farmers. The front line demonstrations created significantly greater impact on demonstrator farmers than non-demonstrator farmers.
