The study was carried out during rabi seasons of three selected blocks of Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh during 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 (three consecutive years). All 225 demonstrations on linseed crop were carried out in area of 90 ha by the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the improved technologies of linseed production potential. The improved technologies consisting use of new variety JLS-27, seed treatment with Azotobacter and PSB culture, balanced fertilizer application and integrated pest management. CFLD recorded higher yield as compare to farmer’s practice. The improved technologies recorded mean yield of 14.88 q/ha, which was 47 percent higher than that obtained with farmers practice of 10.13 q/ha. Improved technologies gave higher mean net return of Rs. 37449/ha with a benefit cost ratio 3.06 as compared to farmers practice (Rs. 21615/ha, benefit cost ratio 2.33)
