Abstract: A technology demonstration of Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) was aimed to improve the production after bringing new variety in to cultivation in Vijayapur district of Karnataka. Studies were carried out to assess yield and economics of a new variety, TS-3R at the farmer’s field under cluster front line demonstration (CFLD) for two years (2018-19 to 2019-20). Among two varieties TS-3R recorded significantly higher yield (11.91 q ha^-1) as compared to local variety Gulyal (9.33 q ha^-1). Similar trend was observed for growth and yield parameters. The highest gross returns and BC ratio of Rs. 88308.5 ha^-1 and 3.42, respectively were realized with TS-3R variety as compared with local variety Gulyal.
