“…Hence, there is need to develop location specific and low cost technology of pulses to the farmers with suitable extension interventions at farmers' field. These findings were consistent with the findings of Burman et al (2008), Kumbhare et al(2014) and Dutta (2014).…”

“…The major production related constraints perceived by the respondent of both the states were low market price/ low profit (74.39) and crop damage by wild animals (74.39) was observed first rank followed by non-availability of labour (53.43), high cost of inputs (53.37), lack of subsidy for inputs (45.55), non-availability of credit facilities (44.16), lack of proper information sources (36.80) and lastly the theft of crop at the time of maturity (20.00). Similar constraints also reported by Kumbhare et al (2014).…”

“…The second component of yield gap-II is the difference between the potential farm yield and the actual average farm yield. According to Kumbhare et al (2014) yield gap-I (technology gap) is the potential yield of the variety at research station minus yield obtained under on-farm demonstration of the selected cultivar and yield gap-II (extension gap) is the yield obtained under on-farm demonstration minus yield of local check were computed.…”

The present study was conducted at farmers’ field in Narsinghpur and Umaria districts of Madhya Pradesh; Wardha and Yavatmal districts in Maharashtra during 2016 to 2017. The results of yield gap analysis from a sample size of 160 farmers revealed that the average yield gap-I (technology gap) for pigeon pea and chickpea was 712 to 817 kg/ha and 755 to 789 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh and in Maharashtra 500 to 657 kg/ha and 395 to 627kg/ha. While, the average yield gap-II (extension gap) for pigeon pea was relatively lower i.e. 426 to 448 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh and 454 to 558 kg/ha in Maharashtra. Whereas, the average yield gap-II for chickpea was relatively lower i.e. 264 to 421 kg/ha in Madhya Pradesh and 427 to 518 kg/ha in Maharashtra. However, the overall yield gap analysis in pulses in both the district of Madhya Pradesh found that technology gaps (gap-I) were observed more than extension gap (gap-II) in varieties of both the crop. In case of both the district of Maharashtra found that technology gaps (gap-I) were observed less than extension gap (gap-II) in varieties of both the crops except variety Jaki 9218 of chickpea and ICPL 8863 variety of pigeon pea. Therefore, it is summarized that technology gap in pulses (pigeon pea and chickpea) was more than extension gap at farmers field. The potential interventions and various constraints of yield gap in major pulses have been highlighted in this paper.

“…Sharma et al (2007) also reported that inclusion of vegetable crops in ricebased crop sequences improved the net return. Kumbhare et al (2014) concluded that good agronomic management practices, awareness campaign of integrated pest management (IPM) and use of high yielding verities (HYV), pulses are more economic as compared to cereals.…”

A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm of ICAR- Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tura during kharif, pre-rabi and rabi season of 2011-12 to 2013-14 to determine the suitable production potential, profitability, resource use efficiency and sustainability of diversified maize-legumes cropping system. The five cropping sequences viz., CS1: Maize + Blackgram (1:2) – green gram + maize (2:1) – tomato, CS2: maize + green gram(1:2) – green gram + maize (2:1) – tomato, CS3: maize + groundnut(1:2) – green gram + maize (2:1) – tomato, CS4: maize + Ssybean(1:2) – tomato and CS5: maize sole – green gram – tomato were replicated four times using a randomized block design on sandy loam soil with low to medium fertility level and slightly acidic in reaction. The cropping system “Maize + Green gram(1:2) – green gram + maize (1:1) – tomato” was found to be most remunerative and sustainable with system productivity (175.49 q/ha), net return (Rs.3,38,725/ha), profitability (Rs. 928.01 /ha/day), benefit cost ratio (4.40), sustainable yield index (1.00), production efficiency (Rs.58.30/ha/day), relative economic efficiency (162.72%), except land use efficiency(LUE) which was the highest (85.75%) in “maize + groundnut(1:2) – green gram + maize (1:1) – tomato” cropping system. The lowest system productivity, net returns, profitability, production efficiency, land use efficiency etc was found in maize+ soybean (1:2)- tomato followed by maize-greengram-tomato cropping system. Hence, the cropping sequence maize + green gram(1:2) – green gram + maize (1:1) – tomato and maize + groundnut(1:2) – green gram + maize (1:1) – tomato were found to be the productive, profitable, remunerative, resource use efficient and sustainable in the mid hills sub-tropical regions of India.

“…It has multipurpose use and ability to grow under the condition of low fertility and varying conditions of soil and climate. Kumbhare et al (2014) concluded that good agronomic management practices, awareness campaign of integrated pest management (IPM) and use of high yielding verities (HYV), pulses are more economic as compared to cereals. Dry land areas comprise virtually 64% of the total cultivated area and recorded 42% of total food grain production in the Indian agriculture (Anonymous, 2011).…”

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Zypmite fertilizer along with di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) in study. The application of Zypmite exhibited in growth, yield, nutrients uptake and availability of nutrient in soil. Zypmite response, the maximum number of branches (25.8 p -1 ), test weight (18.5 gm) and grain yield (17.10 q ha -1 ) was observed with 50 kg P 2 O 5 through DAP + 40 kg S through Zypmite (T 6 ). The nitrogen (69.52 kg ha -1 ) and phosphorous (7.89 kg ha -1 ) uptake was also found maximum under T 6 and minimum in control (T 1 ). The potassium (39.27 kg ha -1 ) and sulphur (7.85 kg ha -1 ) uptake was observed maximum under 50 kg P 2 O 5 through DAP + 20 kg S through Zypmite (T 5 ). After harvesting of crop, available nutrient status was observed higher available nitrogen (243.0 kg ha -1 ) under T 6 and available phosphorous was significantly higher in T 2 and T 9 (18.0 kg ha -1 ) as compared to control. Availability of potassium in all treatments was significantly not influenced during both years. The sulphur availability in soil was significantly influenced among treatment and found maximum (23.0 kg ha -1 ) under 40 kg sulphur through Zypmite (T 7 ). It was observed that Zypmite and chemical fertilizers, enhanced yield and higher uptake of nutrient as well as improved soil fertility.
