Abstract: Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a good source of dietary protein to complement the cereal based diet, particularly for vegetarian masses in the country. It is a Rabi pulse crop which is highly productive and is grown for food, feed and vegetable. The changing climate has its influence on flower drop, poor pod setting and low yields due to insect pest and disease incidence In this regard of view ICAR- Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sonbhdra Uttar Pradesh conducted 180 frontline demonstrations (FLDs) in an area of 30 ha area in various farmers field of different villages of Sonbhdra district during the period from 2014-15 to 2017-18. The demonstration was conducted to enhance the yield of field pea through integrated crop management technology (ICM) along with line sowing of field pea with variety Jay KPMR 522. The new technique red gram transplanting with ICM yielded highest average highest yield of 23.27q/ha where as in farmer’s practices the average yield was to 11.16 q/ha which was 109.18 percent increase in the yield over farmer practices. The average technological gap, extension gap and technological index noticed were 1.73 q/ha, 12.11 q/ha and 6.92 percent respectively and recorded the average net profit of Rs. 80,863/- per ha under demonstration while it was Rs 38,769/- per ha under farmer practices. Benefit cost ratio was 5.01 under demonstration where as it was 2.91 under farmer practices.
