Description Front line demonstrations (FLDs) on fenugreek were laid down at 321 farmers' field to demonstrate productionpotential and economic benefits of improved production technologies comprising high yielding varieties namely RMt-305, RMt-143, AFg-3, GM-1 and RMt-1 in Pali district of arid zone of Rajasthan state during Rabi seasons from 2013 to2019 in irrigated farming situation. The improved production technologies recorded an additional yield ranging from-1 -12.4 to 5.0 q ha with a mean of 3.7 q ha . The per cent increase yield under improved production technologies rangedfrom 18.2 to 39.8 (RMt-305), 20.5 to 46.1 (RMt-143), 29.7 to 38.5 (AFg-3), 24.0 to 31.9 (GM-1) and 30.8 (RMt-1) in-1 -1respective years. The average extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 3.7 q ha , 4.4 q ha and 21.8per cent, respectively in different high yielding varieties of fenugreek. The improved production technologies gavehigher benefit cost ratio ranging from 2.6 to 3.6 with a mean of 3.2 compared to local checks (2.5) being grown byfarmers under locality.The result of the findings indicated that the maximum number of the respondents had mediumlevel of knowledge and extent of adoption regarding recommended fenugreek production technology. The studyreported lack of suitable HYV as major constraints faced by beneficiaries ranked first. Followed by low technicalknowledge. The productivity of fenugreek per unit area could be increased by adopting feasible scientific andsustainable management practices with a suitable variety. Considering the above facts, frontline demonstrations werecarried out in a systematic and scientific manner on farmer's field to show the potential of a new variety and convincingfarming community about performance of improved production management technologies of fenugreek for furtheradoption.
