Abstract:
Frontline Demonstrations on oilseed crops viz. linseed, mustard, safflower and groundnut have been conducted by 27 Krishi Vigyan Kendra of Chhattisgarh during rabi season from 2017-18 to 2021-22 to demonstrate the latest high yielding varieties along with critical inputs on cluster basis in farmers’ fields with a view to show the potentiality of the technologies to the participating farmers, neighbouring farmers and to analyse the production performance of the technologies for scientific feedback. 5588 no. of CFLDs were conducted covering an area of 2581 ha under oilseeds. Productivity of oilseed crops obtained in FLDs was higher than the district average indicating potential for bridging the yield gap. Results of CFLDs on Oilseeds have shown encouraging results. It will also help in breaking yield plateau to achieve production of sufficient quantity of oilseeds to meet per capita availability for ensuring nutritional security and argo-ecological sustainability. 27 KVKs of Chhattisgarh were actively involved in conduction of CFLDs. The major technologies focused in the demonstration were introduction of suitable crops and their high yielding varieties, method of sowing, seed treatment, line sowing, integrated nutrient management and integrated pest management. Under this programme 2581 ha area was covered with demonstration of oilseed crops across 27 districts from 2017-18 to 2021-22. During 2017-18, a total of 1063 CFLDs were laid out in 538 ha area, in 2018-19, 808 CFLDs were laid out in 405 ha area, during 2019-20, 1047 CFLDs were laid out in 475 ha area, in 2020-21, 1634 CFLDs were laid out in 723 ha area and in 2021-22, 1036 CFLDs were laid out in 440 ha area. Under the C.F.L.Ds on oilseeds linseed, mustard, safflower and groundnut demonstrations were conducted in 2581 ha area in Rabi season during the last 5 years.
