For the popularization of newly released chickpea variety among farmers along with improved package of practices, 10 FLDs were conducted in different villages of Saurashtra region in each year. Results clearly indicated the superiority of improved package of practices over farmers’ practices. Farmers got yield advantage ranging from 11.60 to 21.62 per cent. Another advantage of FLD was observed in the awareness of superiority of new variety GJG 3 and GG 5. Some low cost technology like seed treatment and 2% spray of urea as well as application of bio agents like Trichoderma also became familiar among farmers. FLD farmers sold seed of GJG 3 and GG 5 to neighbour farmers in the next year. This way FLDs are useful in spread of new variety.
