Abstract
The north eastern region of India having good area under spices viz. turmeric, ginger etc. But the productivity is too low due to adoption of old varieties, as well as non-recommended practices followed by farmers. In this context, Megha Turmeric-1 variety of turmeric was demonstrated under front line demonstration programme during 2020-21 and 2021-22 respectively by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Tirap, Arunachal Pradesh. The average FLD yield was 218 and 224 q/ha was recorded as compared to 164 and 179 q/ha under farmers practices. The Technology gap was 32 and 26 q/ha, extension gap was 54 and 45 q/ha and technology index ere 13 and 10 respectively. The net income under FLD plot was higher over farmers practice during both years of study (Rs, 290000 & 300000 vs. 210000 & 214000). Similarly, the B:C ratio was also better than farmers practice (2.45 & 2.02 vs. 1.77 & 1.76). Being a very low technology index, it assumes that turmeric production can be enhanced by dissemination of improved technologies at farmer’s field.
