Abstract

An on farm trial was conducted to study the performance of improved blackgram varieties under rainfed condition of Dharmapuri district. The trial was conducted in five farmers’ holdings spread over in palacode and morappur blocks. The varieties included in the study were VBN 8, TBG 104 and VBN 5.The crop was raised and maintained by following the recommended package of practices. Results of the study revealed that the variety TBG 104 recorded higher grain yield of 8.22 q/ha, it was followed by VBN 8 (7.78 q/ha) and lower in farmers practice i.e., VBN 5 (6.90 q/ha). Per cent incidence of yellow mosaic virus disease was lower in TBG 104 (2.67) and higher in farmers practice (15.3). The highest net return (Rs. 21870/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.14) were realized with TBG 104 and the lowest net return (Rs. 16990/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.97) were realized with farmers practice i.e., VBN 5. Hence, it is concluded from the present study that the blackgram variety TBG 104 can be recommended for cultivation in large scale in Dharmapuri district for realizing higher yield and income by farming community.
