Chickpea (Cicer kabuli anum.) is a major pulse crop grown in Madhya Pradesh particularly in Indore district with 11.83 q/ha which is far below than its potential yield (20 q/ha). Therefore to enhance its production and productivity front line demonstration were carried out at Indore district during 2015-16, 2016-17 & 2017-18. The interventions imparted under front line demonstration were consisting Improve variety, {Phule G 0517 (Kripa)}, integrated nutrient management (20:60:20 kg N: P: K /ha + Rhizobium + P.S.B.@ 5 ml per kg of seed), integrated pest management, Deep ploughing, seed treatment with Trichoderma viridi, Quinolphos @1.5 lt/ha+ Indoxacarb 3.3 lt/ha). Existing farmers practice was treated as control. Full gap was observed in case of variety, seed rate, seed treatment, seed inoculation, while partial gap was observed in use of inorganic fertilizer and plant protection measure followed by the farmers. 26.23 percent average yield enhancement was recorded with extension gap ranging between 3.1, 2.4 and 3.49 q/ha during the period of study. The trends of technology gap (ranging between 5.4, 6.93 and 4.39 q/ha) reflected the farmer’s co-operation in carrying out such demonstration with encouraging results in sequent year. Average technological index 14.8 % showed the feasibility of the evolved technology at the farmer’s field. Net return under recommended practices was recorded Rs 70553, 73220 and Rs 57847 while it was Rs 45593, 57228 and Rs 39525 under existing farmers practice. Benefit: cost ratio was ranged between 1: 3.47, 3.25 and 1:2.97. Consequently it was clearly showed that the Front line demonstration can paved the way of minimizing the gap between actual yield of chick pea and its yield potential.
