The domestic production of pulses is consistently below the targets and actual domestic requirements are also higher, due to these pulses are being imported. The findings of the study revealed that the demonstrated technology recorded a mean yield of 5.85 qt/ha which was 25.07% higher than obtained with farmers’ practice (4.73 qt/ha). Higher mean net income of Rs. 12413 Rs/ha with a Benefit:Cost Ratio of 1.48 was obtained with improved technologies in comparison to farmers’ practices (Rs. 10116 /ha).
