Fenugreek is an important seed spice crop in arid region of India particularly in Rajasthan and Gujarat states. To popularize the improved variety of fenugreek in arid Kutch of Gujarat ICAR-CAZRI, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kukma, Bhuj were organized Front frontline demonstrations (FLDs) in different villages of Anjar and Bhuj Talukas in the district for three years. Under the demonstration fields, seeds of improved variety (AFg-3) along with all improved package and practices of fenugreek applied. During the practice a total 20 demonstrations were conducted in 8 ha area at the farmers field. The average seed yield under improved variety was 2311.67 kg ha–1 compared to the farmer’s local variety (2070 kg ha–1) and increased significantly by 11.68% an average over farmers used variety. The average extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 241.67 kg ha-1, 88.33 kg ha-1 and 3.68%, respectively. Through adoption of improved variety, farmers get additional average returns of Rs. 8718.33 ha-1 and B: C ratio 2.75. During this period extension activities like farmers training, distribution of literature, diagnostic visits etc. were taken to provide instant benefit to the farmers. Frontline demonstrations programme created greater awareness, attitude and skill to adopt improved practices of Fenugreek and therefore, increased their production and economics.
