Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in Bhadradri Kothagudem conducted Front Line Demonstrations (FLD) on management of fruit rot in chilli during 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. These demonstrations compared the effectiveness of technology-demonstrated (seed treatment and rotation of the fungicides) with traditional farmer practices at plots sized of 0.4 hectares across ten locations for each treatment. The results showed that the technology-demonstrated plots had higher cost-benefit ratios (BC Ratio) of 2.49:1, 2.53:1, and 2.32:1 compared to the BC ratios of 1.96:1, 1.91:1, and 1.90:1 in the farmers' practice plots during the corresponding years. Additionally, farmers practiced plots typically sprayed fungicide mixtures after noticing disease.
