Abstract:
A frontline demonstration of Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.) was aimed to improve the production after bringing new variety into cultivation in Bijjaragi village of Vijayapur district in northern Karnataka. Studies were carried out to assess yield and economics of a new variety AA-1 at the farmer’s field for two years (2021-22 to 2022-23). Among different Ajwain varieties AA-1 recorded significantly higher yield (1155 and 1130 kg ha-1) as compared to local variety Kadapa (795 and 840 kg ha-1). Similar trend was observed for growth and yield parameters. The highest gross returns (179450 and 177854 Rs. ha-1) and BC ratio (4.15 and 4.20) for 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively were realized with AA-1 variety as compared with farmer’s variety Kadapa.
