5.14.2 Demonstrations
5.14.2(A) Cluster Front line demonstrations
The ICAR has sponsored a special programme ofCluster Front-line Demonstrations to demonstrate the genetic production potential of improved crop varieties and to disseminate latest proven technologies of oilseeds under NMOOP scheme and pulses production among the farmers with the view to reduce the time lag between technology generated and its adoption under NFSM scheme. This will also enable field functionaries to elucidate the production constraints and limitations in the adoption of technology for onward transmission to scientists to reorient their research accordingly. In these demonstrations all the newly unfolded technologies are carried out under the direct supervision of scientists and technicians of KVKs by supplying the critical inputs.
During the reporting year, Demonstrations were conducted on 1020.8hectares of land under front line demonstrations including oilseeds, (381.6ha), pulses (540.0ha) and other crops (99.2).Total2511 demonstrations were laid out under FLD.
