Description On Farm Testing (OFT) of palak were conducted in Ernakulam Krishi Vigyan Kendra during 2012-13. Highest green leaf
vegetable yield (18.00.q/ha) was recorded in variety Harit Shobha and All Green in first year with farmers practice.
Programme was continued in 2nd year under Front Line Demonstration (FLD). It was observed that Harit Shobha cultivar
gave 20.0 q/ha-1 green leaf yields which was higher over All Green and farmers practice. An average yield of two cultivar
Harit Shobha and All green was 15.5 q/ ha-1 and 17.7 q ha-1 in OFT and FLD, respectively. The average technology gap,
extension gap and technology index of 2.9 q ha-1, 9.5 q ha-1 and 38 per cent and 1.8q ha-1, 7.5qha-1 and 30 per cent during
first and second year, respectively. Technology index reduced from 38 to 30 per cent during the study period means
technology was accepted by the farmers. As a result, 500 farmers initiated the small scale farming of palak in the district
with the technical guidance provided from KVK.
