Abstract: The study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh to find out the yield gaps between scientific package and practices under cluster front line demonstration (CFLD oilseeds) and farmer’s practice (FP) of mustard crop. Cluster Front Line Demonstration on mustard were conducted on farmer’s fields during Rabi season of two sequential years i.e. 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 under National Food Security Mission (NFSM), Govt. of India to demonstrate the impact of enriched agro-techniques on production and economic benefits under irrigated conditions. CFLD’s were conducted in 12.0 ha and 21.2 ha area for two years with active involvement of 94 farmers and technical staff of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Ghazipur. According to observed data the highest grain yield was obtained in demonstrated plots with an average of 18.83 q/ha as compared to local check with an average of 15.69 q/ha. An average mean of extension gap, technology gap and technology index were calculated as 3.15 q/ha, 6.17q/ha, 24.68 percent, respectively. In Adoption of improved package of practices in mustard cultivation recorded average higher B:C ratio (5.97) as compared to Farmers Practice (5.43) during the period of study. Thus, the productivity of mustard could be increased with the adoption of recommended scientific package of practices. The study resulted in satisfying the farmers for maximum productivity and returns.
