Flagship Programmes

 

Cluster Frontline Demonstration of Pulses and Oilseeds (CFLD):

 

Cluster frontline demonstration is a unique approach by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research on Oilseed and Pulse crops to provide a direct interface between scientists and farmers where farmers are guided by the KVK scientists during demonstrations in implementation of improved technologies like seed treatment, IPM, INM, land preparation etc . Demonstrated fields are regularly monitored by the scientists. Cluster Frontline Demonstration project started since 2015-16 under NFSM and NMOOP.

Objective:

The main objective of Cluster Front-Line Demonstrations is to demonstrate newly released crop production and protection technologies and its management practices in the farmers’ field under different agro-climatic regions and farming situations. While demonstrating the technologies in the farmers’ field, the scientist to study the factors contributing higher crop production, field constraints of production and thereby generate production data and feedback information. The field demonstrations conducted under the close supervision of scientists of the KVKs because the technologies are demonstrated for the first time by the scientists themselves before being fed into the main extension system of the State Department of Agriculture.

Salient features of CFLD:

• Cluster Frontline Demonstrations are conducted under the close supervision of the scientists of the KVKs.
• Only newly released technologies or those likely to be released in near future are selected for the Cluster Front-Line Demonstrations.
• Only critical inputs are provided from the scheme budget, remaining inputs are supplied by the farmers themselves.
• Cluster Front-Line Demonstrations are used as a source of generating data on factors contributing higher crop yields and constraints of production under various farming situations.

 

During 2019-20 an area of 2120 & 740 ha have been covered under cluster demonstration programmes on pulses and oilseeds, respectively by the KVKs.
