Abstract:
In the pursuit of creating awareness about the potential of Turmeric varieties, comprehensive demonstrations were precisely conducted in the 2022-23. In the Pitambari variety, the substantially increased in yields of demonstrated plot was observed 282.50 q/ha as compared to control plots (257.50 q/ha). Notably, the yield increment was calculated 9.71% with 13.87% technology index. Similarly the extension gap was recorded 25.00 q/ha and technology gap was found 45.50 q/ha. Moreover, the BCR was higher in the demonstrated plots of (3.36) when compared with the check plot (3.15). Furthermore the net return increase was observed 13.02% and additional return was recorded 45,730 Rs/ha. Whereas, in the case of Sugandham variety, the considerably improve in yields of demonstrated plot was observed 155.00 q/ha as compared to control plots (137.50 q/ha). Notably, the yield increment was calculated 12.73% with 22.50% technology index. Similarly the extension gap was recorded 17.50 q/ha and technology gap was found 45.00 q/ha. Moreover, the BCR was higher in the demonstrated plots of (1.89) when compared with the check plot (1.64). Furthermore the net return increase was observed 36.24% and additional return was recorded 38,902 Rs/ha.
