Abstract

The study was carried out during 2017–18 at farmers’ field in three villages (Lohani, Bhatkar and Pundrenka) under Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Front line demonstration of gobhi sarson (Brassica napus) was conducted on an area of 10 ha with active participation of 64 farmers with high yielding improved technologies composed of HPN3 variety, integrated pest management (IPM) and integrated nutrient management (INM). The results revealed the increase in average yield under front line demonstrations by 2.16% as compared to the farmer’s practice. Improved technology gave higher net return of Rs. 10908 -ha-1 with benefit cost ratio 0.49 as compared to local check (INR 7600 ha-1, benefit cost ratio 0.44).
