Whereas increasing yield in demonstration farmers was 18.2 tonnes per acre compared to 16.1 in non-IPM farmers. Information seeking behavior of farmers was increased to 70 percent among the demonstration farmers whereas less contact with extension scientists was prevailed among non demonstration farmers.
