The underlying determinants of yield gaps need to be
understood for making appropriate policy prescriptions to
increase production in the short-run and to eliminate or reduce
yield gaps between research station, on-farm demonstration
and farmer’s fields. Suitable technologies extended to the
farmers are readily adopted by some while others may not be
interested. It emphasizes the need for identifying and
quantifying level of adoption and its determinants across agro
climatic regions. As such adoption gap analysis was carried out
for pigeon pea and chickpea in high potential high gap states
and districts of India. The recommendation domain was used
in the study to ascertain the adoption gaps at farmers’ level.
The results showed that high to medium level of adoption gaps
were observed in almost all the recommendation domains in
both the crops. Nearly 80 percent of the respondents had not
adopted manurial aspects of the crop and 76 percent had not
gone for any plant protection measures. Only 29 per cent
adopted the recommended varieties and nearly 60 per cent
adopted agronomic practices. On the basis of the results obtained
it can be recommended to have appropriate training for the
extension workers and subsequently to farmers with availability
of matching input supply system. Instead of delaying extension
efforts for the research results, extension workers may transfer
farmers’ innovative practices to other farmers and locations. If
variability of yields from the same seeds is found in different
locations and at farmer to farmer field in the same location,
pulse breeding research for development and/or introduction
of location specific high yielding variety may be recommended.
