Toria (Brassica campestris) is one of the important Rabi crops in Tinsukia district of Assam but due to unavailability of improved variety and non adoption of improved cultivation practices, its productivity (5.5 q/ha) is far below the average national productivity (9.7 q/ha) and state average of 6.5 q/ha. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tinsukia, Assam has conducted 77 demonstrations on Toria var. TS 67 and 100 demonstration on Toria var. TS 46 during the year in 2016-17 to 2018-19 in 30 ha and 40 ha area including eight villages of the district. The mean data of three years revealed that an average yield of 8.65 q/ha and 8.77 q/ha was recorded under cluster frontline demonstration plots of Toria var. TS 67 and TS 46, respectively over farmer’s practice (6.8 q/ha). The percent increase in yield with both the varieties under demonstration over farmers practice was observed 27.29 and 29.01 percent.
