Abstract: To assess the cumulative impact of greengram improved cultivars, integrated weed, nutrient and pest management, frontline demonstrations were conducted in summer season from 2016-17 to 2018- 19 at 225 farmers’ fields in thirteen villages under six blocks of the district. Three years pooled data revealed that the yield attributes i.e. primary branches and pods/plant under demonstration were 28.53 and 27.14 per cent greater to that of farmers practice. Grains/pod and test weight were noted to be 9.25 and 36.28 g in the demo which were 10.51 and 15.76 per cent higher over farmer’s practice. Average seed yield under demonstrated plots was found to be 1281 kg/ha and it was 40.92 per cent higher to that of farmers practice (909 kg/ha), with additional net return of Rs. 19485/ha. The summer greengram technology disseminated in further 38869 ha in 2019-20 over the area reported in 2014-15 and generated 293 crores revenue over that of 32.21 crores in 2014-15.
