The investigations measured the average maximum yield gap between the improved practices and that of the farmer's practices as 929 kg ha-1, showing an increase of 202.83 percent over that of farmer's practices. The highest share was contributed by method of sowing, 24.77 percent; followed by improved variety, 24.42 percent, fertilizer, 22.84 percent and seed rate, 7.3 percent. The highest net return and Value Cost Ratio (VCR) of the Rs. 2255.34/ha and (1:5) respectively, were found for improved variety, followed by method of sowing as Rs. 2053.94/ha and 1 3.68 (VCR) respectively.
