In Amreli district, yields ranged from 215 to 252 quintal per ha. In demonstration with average of 229.7 qt./ha. Compared to 202 qt. per ha in General plots, thereby giving more than 13% increase in yield. Similarly yield level of demonstration was ranging from 218-247 qt. per hectare for demonstration plots of Bhavnagar area with average yield 232.8 qt. per hectare compared to 206 qt. per hectare in general plots, thereby giving 13% increase in yield.
