Abstract:
The region of Bundelkhand is known as bowl of pulses, which is dominated by chickpea in terms of area and production both. There are several factors, which affect the production potential of crop adversely. The management of these factors individually may become uneconomical and time as well as resource consuming. This experiment was laid out at farmer’s field to assess the integrated crop management module for chickpea in randomized block design (RBD) with four technology options replicated at ten farmer’s field during two consecutive cropping seasons. The observations recorded revealed that integrated crop management (ICM) module was found superior over all treatments taken into consideration. The maximum average yield (2063.75 kg/ha) and benefit: Cost ratio (2.8) as well as minimum percent pod damage (9.3 & 6.3 percent) were recorded in plots having ICM module followed by recommended practices and farmer’s practices during cropping season of Rabi, 2019-20 and 2020-21. The overall knowledge and technology gap among farmers with regard to ICM module before intervention was observed to be as high as 83.72 and 80.09 percent respectively.
