The 27 front line demonstrations were conducted in humid south eastern plain of Rajasthan to evaluate the production potential of newly released urdbean variety KU 96-3 during the years of 2008, 2010 and 2011 at the farmers' field. Improved variety KU 96-3 produced 18.9 per cent higher mean seed yield over local checks. The maximum technology gap (604 kg/ha) and index (50.33 %) was observed in the year 2008 in comparison to the years of 2010 and 2011. Majority of the respondent farmers' expressed their high (52.59 %) to the medium (31.58 %) level of satisfaction for the improved variety under real farm situations.
