A field demonstration was conducted to know the performance of black gram variety (LBG-20) at farmers’ field in Mandla district, Madhya Pradesh consecutively for three kharif seasons 2013, 2014 and 2015. The demonstration trials of black gram were carried out in 4.8 ha area at farmer’s field adjacent the farmer’s practices. The results revealed that performance of black gram yield was found to be higher than farmer’s practices. The yield of black gram from demonstrated module (technological interventions) was recorded with the tune of 74.05% to 100.63% over farmer’s practices. The cumulative effect of the technological intervention over three years given an average yield of 1231 kg/ha which was higher 89.21% over farmer’s practices. The yield attributing character of the variety i.e. number of pods per plant was higher (57 pods/plant) over farmer’s practice (38 pods/plant). On three years average net return Rs.32667/ha was found from the recommended practice were substantially higher than farmer’s practices (Rs.12560/ha). On an average Rs. 20107/ha as additional income is attributed to the technological intervention provided in demonstration plots i.e. recommended practices. The average extension gap, technology gap and technology index was recorded 579 kg/ha, 168 kg/ha and 1.20%, respectively over farmer’s practices. The average B:C ratio 2.97 was found under OFT trial while it was 1.93 in farmer’s practices.
