The front line demonstration study was carried out based on objectively to newly released crop production technology and its management practices on the farmer’s field by the scientist themself before taking main extension system of different agro climatic zone. This study was conducted during year 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 in kharif season. In this study considered improved technology especially like new variety (GJG-22) of groundnut crop, balance application of fertilizer (based on soil test report), Integrated management of pest, disease and weed. In this demonstrated field recorded an average yield ranging from 21.87 q/ha to 25.78 q/ha with mean value 24.56 q/ha. Yield increasing percentage is 14.5 %, 13.08 % and 13.22 % respectively in sequence of year as compared to locally farming practices. The maximum gross (129626 Rs./ha) and net return (90551 Rs./ha) value was obtained under demo plot with average benefit: cost ratio (1:3.30) as compared to local check. In present study result reflected that the yield and economics of groundnut can bust up recommended technology
