Abstract
The study was
conducted in the different Block of Kushinagar district in U.P. under Frontline
Demonstration by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kushinagar through coordinating
Institution ICAR-IIVR, Varanasi, U.P. Demonstration with Zero Tillage wheat has
shown primarily positive impacts on wheat crop management, particularly through
reduced input needs combined with potential yield increase. To evaluate the
economics of high yielding variety (PBW 502) and their utilisation in zero
tillage to improve income of farmers and agricultural productivity, the
utilisation of high yielding variety under frontline demonstration programme
was demonstrated and calibrated using the data of a field experiment in the
district. The average yield of high yielding variety was recorded 34.1 q/ha
over conventional sowing it is 27.9 q/ha by using local variety of wheat. In
another case study, the average yield in zero-tillage method was recorded 36.6
q ha-1 over conventional sowing it is 27.4 q/ha by using local
variety of wheat. The average yield of PBW 502 was 34.1 q/ha and yield of zero
tillage technique was 36.6 q/ha. The data collected from the field were
analysed and the result of the study in respect of percentage increase in yield
in PBW 502 with ZT increased 7.33% over farmers practice by using PBW 502. The
B:C ratio was observed higher side by using PBW 502 is 1.6 as compared to
conventional method sowing of wheat is 1.4. The B: C ratio was observed higher
side in zero-tillage method is 1.6 as compared to conventional method sowing of
wheat is 1.5. The finding have clearly established that wheat sowing can be
advanced in yield by using PBW 502 over utilisation of local variety of wheat,
under zero tillage method it also clearly established that wheat sowing can be
advanced in yield over conventional tillage system.
