Feedback and farmers' reaction

	Technical Feedback	Farmers' reaction
Castor (FLD)	GCH-7has loose spike, but farmers prefers compact spike As more branches in GCH-7, revised spacing may be recommended.	GCH-7 Variety is preferred by farmers in wilt affected areas
Mustard (FLD)	Parasite weed (Orobanche) is affecting severely	G.M-3 variety is an early maturing, bold seeded and high yielding. Sulphur element applied as basal dose enhance yield of mustard.
Greengram (FLD)	--	Variety G.M-4 is Good as compared to other variety. Leaf spot disease is managed by seed treatment with Carbendenzim Application of chemical fertilizer give higher yield.
Castor (Component)	--	Tricoderma Viride application minimize the wilt disease in castor.
Cumin (Component)	--	Sulphur application increases the yield & quality of cumin as well as minimizes the Powdery Mildew disease.
Wheat (Component)	GW-322 variey is no as good as GW-496 for chapati making. Grain luster is not good as GW-496	Market price of GW-322 is less as compared to GW-496. Rust was not observed in this variety. Grain production is more as compared to other variety.
