Rapeseed (Brassica campestris L.) is one of the important oil seed crop cultivated in Tirap district of Arunachal
Pradesh. The production and productivity of rapeseed in the district is low and constant attempts are being
made to improve the production and productivity, area increase, adopting high yielding varieties and improved
cultivation practices. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tirap conducted Cluster Front Line Demonstration (CFLD) at the
farmers’ field in 24 villages of the district during 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20. The critical inputs and constraints
in existing production technology were identified. Lack of high yielding variety, inadequate input availability,
pest and disease incidence and lack of technical knowhow were the predominant identified causes of low
productivity of rapeseed in Tirap district. The results of three years demonstrations of variety TS-46 revealed
yield increased by 30.97 per cent (2017-18), 28.61 per cent (2018-19) and 26.78 per cent (2019-20) respectively.
The additional return in demonstrated plots under TS-46 ranged between Rs. 5732 to Rs. 7285 per hectare during
different years. The technology index ranging from 3.6 to 12.9 per cent was found between CFLD demonstration
plots and farmers’ practices during the different time line. It can be concluded that rapeseed production can be
enhanced by encouraging farmers through adoption of high yielding variety TS-46, improved technologies and
ensuring need based inputs in due time.
