Frontline
demonstration (FLD) is one of the most powerful tools of extension.
Because farmers, in general, are driven by the perception
that ‘Seeing is Believing’. Farmers lack knowledge
about the scientific methods of production of crops, more
often than not. They use to cultivate based on the knowledge
transmitted to them by their forefathers and through the generation
the level and purity of knowledge deteriorates leading to
a grossly unscientific agronomic, nutrient management and
pest management practices. As a result of these they
often fail to achieve the desired level of yield associated
with high cost of cultivation. The objective of Front
Line Demonstration (FLD) is to demonstrate newly released
crop production and protection technologies and its management
practices in the farmer's field to study the constraints of
production, factors contributing for higher production and
thereby generate production data and feed back information.
