Abstract

Paddy is the major crop grown in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. The frontline demonstrations were carried out in six villages of the district with high yielding variety MTU-1075 and applying scientific practices in cultivation. The paddy productivity and economic returns under improved technologies were calculated and compared with the corresponding farmers’ practices. Results revealed that improved technology recorded higher yield of 5450 kg/ha in 2014–15 than 4230 kg/ha by farmer practices. The improved technology gave higher gross return (Rs 54380/ha), net return (Rs 32680/ha) with higher benefit:cost ratio (2.50) as compared to farmers’ practices.
