Frontline demonstrations (FLDs) are among the important technology transfer programs
to illustrate the profi tability and productivity potential of improved technologies. FLDs
are being conducted for the past many years in oilseed crops and signifi cant yield gaps
between improved technology and farmers practice fi elds were reported. The yield gaps
were due non-availability of critical inputs, labour intensive nature using technology,
requirement of additional investment and non-remunerative prices for the crop itself apart
from individual farmers’ characteristics which infl uence his adoption behaviour. Hence, it
is important to evaluate the farmers’ characteristics aff ecting the yield gaps. The current
study was carried out during the year 2021-22 in eight villages of the Prakasam and
Raipur districts of Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh states, respectively with objectives
to evaluate the yield gaps of the FLD and non-FLD farmers and understand the farmers’
characteristics aff ecting the yield gaps. The information was gathered from 160 randomly
selected oilseeds cultivating farmers consisting of FLD and non-FLD farmers. There were
signifi cant diff erences in yield gaps between the FLD and non-FLD farmers. The yield gap
was aff ected by farmers’ characteristics such as education, annual income, innovativeness,
social participation, mass media exposure, and extension participation.
