During Kharif 2021, an investigation was carried out in Prathvipura village, block Babina, district Jhansi, and the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. A total of ten demonstrations on vegetables showed their production potential: bhindi, sponge gourd, brinjal, amaranth, and cowpea bean variety A-5, Pusa Sneha, Pusa Hara, Pusa Kiran, and Pusa Sukomal. Increased yields of 8.33, 9.38, 11.54, and 9.38 percent were recorded from bhindi, sponge gourd, brinjal, and cowpea crops, respectively, where the extension gap was 1500, 1500, 3000, and 1500 kg/ha. The technology gap was observed at 1000, 0, 4000, -50, and 5 kg/ha for cowpea, bhindi, brinjal, sponge gourd, and amaranth, where the technology index was 5.88, 0, 13.33, -0.31, and 3.85 percent, respectively. The highest net returns were observed for 95,000, 102,500, 120,500, 122,500, and 145,500 Rs from sponge gourd, amaranth, cowpea, bhindi, and brinjal, with cost-benefit ratios of 1.46, 2.73, 2.66, 2.13, and 2.32 after each rupee investment, followed by a local check.
