The present study was carried out to evaluate the performance of improved cultivars with scientific package of practices on production, productivity and profitability of bengal gram. Frontline Demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted during 2018-19 and 2019-20 in total of 70 demonstrations with evaluation of the performance of NBeG-3, NBeG-47 and NBeG-49 varieties of bengal gram in Kodumur, Aluru and maddikera and Mecadona blocks of Kurnool district. The results revealed that average yield of chick pea under frontline demonstrations were 1940 Kgha-1under irrigated conditions and 420 Kgha-1 under rainfed conditions. Compare to 1825 Kgha-1 under irrigated conditions and 370 Kgha-1 under rainfed conditions recorded in farmer’s practice in 2018-19 and in 2019-20. It was observed that the benefit cost ratio (B: C) of recommended practice (FLDs) were 2.1 and 2.09 as compared to 1.40and 1.59 in farmer’s practice. Therefore, the results clearly indicates that the use of improved varieties and package and practices with scientific intervention under frontline demonstration programme contribute to increase the productivity and profitability of pulses in Andhra Pradesh state.
