In Nagaur district cumin blight disease management trial was conducted through on-farm trial during the year 2020-21. Cumin seed yield of 9.74 q/ha was obtained under demonstration technology as compared to farmer’s practice (7.81 q/ha). The percent seed yield under demonstrations was 25% over the farmer’s practices. Under demonstrated practices, farmers got maximum net return of Rs. 89055/ha. Whereas, it was of Rs. 65215/ha under farmer’s practices. The incremental benefit cost ratio was 1:3.37 under demonstrations as compared to 1:2.8 in farmer’s practices.
