The Research study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sawai Madhopur during kharif-2017 under National Mission on Oilseed and Oilpalm (NMOOP) Project to enhancement the productivity and profitability of sesame by transfer of improved technology. The result revealed that the maximum seed yield of sesame was obtained under demonstrated plots ranged between 6.27 q/ha to 6.72 q/ha with an average of 6.45 q/ha which was 25.97 percent higher as compared to local check with an average of 5.12 q/ha. Extension gap between demonstrated plots and local check was found with an average of 1.33 q/ha. The maximum average net returns (Rs. 31190 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.70) were recorded under demonstrated plots as compared to local check (Rs. 22603 ha-1 and 1.87 respectively).
