Frontline demonstrations are popular and one of the effective ways to disseminate the current production technology of crop husbandry among the farmers. AICRP on Sesame, Tikamgarh conducted 40 demonstrations in Tikamgarh block during kharif 2020 and 2021. The mean Extension Gap (EG) over years was recorded as 342 kg/ha which was more than double to the mean yield harvested under farmer's practice (FP) indicating the poor adoption of innovative technologies by farmers. Hence, still more efforts are needed to attract and change mindset of farmers towards Improved Technology (IT). The average IT was recorded as 23.5% which was much higher than desired values. Mean net return was recorded `34375 under IT while it was `12229 under FP along with average B:C ratio was calculated 2.57 under IT whereas 1.97 under FP.
