The present study was carried out the evaluating the performance of improved cultivars with scientific package and practices on production, productivity and profitability of blackgram. Cluster frontline demonstrations were conducted during 2016-17 and 2017-18 with evaluation the performance of Indira urd pratham, variety of blackgram in Baramkela and Tamnar blocks of the district and record the feedback information of farmer’s. The results revealed that average yield of blackgram under cluster frontline Demonstrations were 11.52 and 11.19 qha-1 as compare to 8.75 and 8.45 qha-1 recorded in farmer’s practice, average yield increase of 31.66 and 32.43 per cent and additional return of 11934.00 and 12986.00 Rsha-1, respectively. It was observed that the benefit cost ratio (B: C) of recommended practice (CFLD’s) were 3.02 and 2.99 as compared to2.55 and 2.2.48 in farmer’s practice during consecutive years of study blocks. The average extension gap 2.75 qha-1 and average technology gap 3.64 qha-1 was recorded. 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 Chhattisgarh state.
