Online Published on 07 May, 2022. Abstract Cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L) Taub] is one of the important leguminous vegetable crops grown for their tender pods and seeds. Frontline demonstrations on integrated crop management (ICM) practices in cluster bean were conducted to increase the yield and income of people in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. Demonstrations on cluster bean variety MDU 1 with integrated crop management practices were conducted in ten farmers’ fields belonging to Vridhachalm and Kammapuram blocks of Cuddalore district during 2019-2021 to spread the technology among the farmers. Two high yielding improved varieties of cluster bean viz MDU 1 and Pusa Naubahar were compared with the local variety. Each demonstration field was laid out in 0.4 ha while adjacent 0.4 ha was laid out with local variety and farmers’ practice as control. The results revealed that the ICM practices plots registered the highest plant height, pod length, pod girth, number of pods, pod weight, yield per plant and yield per hectare. Similarly higher net income and benefit-cost ratio were also observed in ICM practices plots. Top Keywords Cluster bean, MDU 1, ICM practices, Yield, Economics. Top | | | |
