Cluster Front Line (CFLDs) demonstrations are a unique approach which provides a direct interface between researchers and farmers when scientists participate directly in the planning, execution and monitoring of demonstrations of the technologies developed by them and get direct feedback from the farmers’ field about the crops. The cluster frontline demonstrations (45 in number) on pearl millet were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Athiyasan, Nagaur-I during 2020 to 2021 in Kharif season in village Roon and Gaju in Mundwa block in a saline area of 20 ha by the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the improved technologies meant for proving production potential of pearl millet (Variety MPMH-17). The improved technologies consisting use of improved variety, soil treatment by Trichoderma viride, seed treatment with Carbendazim, mechanized sowing and use of integrated nutrients. The yield was found 1669 kg ha-1 in demonstration plot as compared to local check (1325 kg ha-1) which revealed 26% higher yield by use of improved technology.
