The present study was carried out by Krishi Vigyan Kendra (ANDUAT), Basuli, Maharajganj to study the yield gaps between improved package of practices under frontline demonstration (FLD) and farmer’s practice (FP) of wheat crop. Frontline demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted on 75 farmers’ fields to demonstrate the impact of improved techniques on production and economic benefits under the irrigated tarai region of Uttar Pradesh during rabi seasons of three consecutive years i.e. 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20. The technologies demonstrated in FLDs recorded grain yield 41.37q/ha, additional yield of 12.90 q/ha over farmers practice grain yield 28.47 q/ha. Under FLDs the grain yield of wheat was increased by 45.48 percent over FP. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were calculated as 12.90 q/ha, 8.63 q/ha and 17.27percent, respectively. Adoption of improved package of practices in wheat cultivation recorded higher B:C ratio (2.67) as compare to FP (2.04). Yield enhancement and higher net returns of Rs. 75,839/- observed under FLDs of improved technologies in wheat extra returns of Rs. 23,650/-.Thus, the productivity of wheat could be increased with the adoption of recommended improved package of practices. The present study resulted to convincing the farming community for higher productivity and returns.
