abstract
This paper analyses on-farm trial data comparing three different varieties of Okra i.e. Local (T₁), Phule Vimukta (T₂) and Arka Anamika (T₃) and documents respondent yield, technology/extension gaps and economics. Descriptive means are used to explain each table. The study finds higher mean yield and benefit:cost (B:C) for Okra variety Phule Vimukta (T₂) and a substantial technology gap between research potential and on-farm yield. Policy implications for extension and technology dissemination are discussed with recent references. Performance of Okra variety Phule Vimukta (T₂) found significantly better in yield, extension as well as in economic parameters over other treatments of on-farm trials.
