With an objective of improving the production and productivity of chickpea, Integrated Crop Management (ICM) practices were conducted in 125 farmers’ fields covering an area of 50 hectares in Nymathi and Jagalurtaluk of Davanagere district in Central dry zone of Karnataka state during Rabi season during 2020-21 to 2022-23 for the period of three consecutive years with high yielding variety JAKI 9218. The Cluster frontline demonstration study findings revealed that ICM practices recorded an average yield of 1186 kgha1 which is 30.45 per cent higher than obtained with farmer’s practice (non – ICM) (909 kgha1). The mean for the three years of extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 277 kgha1, 614 kgha1 and 31.40 per cent, respectively. An average net returns and benefit cost ratio of ?24236 and 1.81 recorded in ICM plot as against ?14290 and 1.53 in farmers practice respectively. The productivity of chickpea per unit area could be increased by adopting scientific and location specific technologies such as variety, optimum plant population, spraying of chickpea magic and timely integrated pest management practices. ICAR- Taralabalu KVK carried out ICM practices in a systematic and scientific manner on different farmer’s field to show the worth of improved practices and convincing farming community about potentialities of improved production management technologies of chickpea for further adoption by the farming community of Davanagere district.
