Abstract: The present study was carried out the performance of improved cultivars, seed treatment, weeds, disease, insect and pest management of production as well productivity of pigeon pea. Cluster frontline demonstration (CFLD’s) were conducted during 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 with evaluation the performance of Rajeev lochan variety of pigeon pea in Pondi Uproda, Pali and Korba block of district and the feedback information of farmer’s. The result revealed that average yield of pigeon pea under front line demonstration were 9.80, 12.40 and 11.52 q/ha as compare to 6.40, 9.20 and 9.20 q/ha recorded in famer’s practice, average yield increase of 34.69, 25.80 and 20.13 per cent and additional return of 16170, 12238 and 11311 Rs/ha respectively. It was observed that the benefit cost ratio (B:C ratio) of recommended practice (CFLD’s) were 3.41, 3.72 and 3.19 as compared to 2.39, 3.22 and 2.8 in farmer’s practice during consecutive year of study blocks. The average extension gap, average technology gap and technology index were found to 2.97, 6.76 and 37.55 q/ha respectively. Therefore, the results clearly indicates that the use of improved varieties and package and practices with scientific intervention under front line demonstration programme contributed to increase the productivity and profitability of pulses in Chhattisgarh state.
