There are several modes are available for teaching to the farmers through distance training system, out of which telecast of video programme, broadcast of audio programmes, telecounselling etc. are eco-friendly modes, solving the farmers problems. The telecounselling is a ecofriendly and easy system of distance training, which is available in rural area in the form of mobiles and landline. The experiment on telecounselling for improvement of potato yield was tried in the villages Bhawanipur and Daipur of district Kannauj and Rajpura, Baghauli, Jasharau and Shaidpur of district Mainpuri for the first time. The soil of experimental site was sandy loam with poor fertility. There is certain drawback in the cultivation of potato. The farmers are not using the recommended agronomic practices, resulting in, the low yield obtained from potato. The farm families of potato growers were linked with C.S.Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur and KVK, Kannauj. The growers put up their problems of potato cultivation before the scientists through telecouselling mode of distance training as and when required. The scientists solved their problems immediately with same mode of distance training. The cultivation of potato was recommended with three varieties i.e. Kufri Bahar, Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Pushkar through telecounselling mode. Cultivars Kufri Bahar, Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Pushkar gave tuber yield by 331.55 q/ha, 354.22 q/ha and 383.71 q/ha, respectively. The growth and yield traits were concordant to yield obtained from potato cultivars. The highest net return Rs. 123569/ha and BCR 1:2.15 were obtained from adoption of cultivation of cultivar Kufri Pushkar closely followed by the net return Rs. 106031/ha and BCR 1:2.00 available from the cultivation of Kufri Pukhraj.

The on farm trial was carried out during rainy season of 2009-10 at farmers fields of Kannauj district. The pilot area situated in the catchments area of river kali. For assessment of different size of onion sets plantation during Kharif season, the use of sets size was refined with the inclusion of small size onion sets. The mature onion bulbs harvested as 182.60 q/ha from plantation of large size sets of onion. The bulbs yield of onion was recorded as 194.80 q/ha with plantation of medium size onion sets. The highest yield of 213.40 q/ha was weighed under plantation of small size onion sets during Kharif season. The yield contributing traits were concordance to its yield. The higher gross return of Rs. 426800/ha, net return of Rs. 359086/ha and BCR of 1:6.30 computed under the plantation of small size sets of onion over other two treatments. Therefore, for obtaining the highest yield and maximum net return from Kharif onion, the farmers were advocated for the use of small size onion sets (between 2.0-2.5g).

The FLDs were laid out during rainy season of 2009-10 on farmers fields of Kannauj district. The pilot area situated in the catchments area of river Kali having loamy soil with low fertility status. The main objective of the study was to harvest higher yield of flowers, more net return and desired recovery of concrete. The secondary objective was to increase the livelihood security of small and marginal farm families. The flowers yield of aromatic crop of Bela was recorded by 46.85 q/ha under FLDs, which was higher by a margin of 9.35 q/ha or 24.93 per cent than the farmers practice (37.50 q/ha). the maximum gross return of Rs. 187400/ha, net return of Rs. 129740/ha and BCR of 1: 3.25 were found with plucking of marketable flowers under FLDs than the gross return of Rs. 150000/ ha, net return of Rs. 97800/ha and BCR of 1:2.87, computed under farmers practice. Therefore, cv. MONGARA SINGLE can be raised with the use of all recommended practices for fancy yield of flowers.

The experiments were laid out from 2006 to 2008 at Regional Research Station, Mainpuri, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, RATDSs, Hardoi and Mathura on varietal performance. The main objective was to find out the high yielding suitable groundnut varieties to summer season cultivation. ICRISAT supplied six groundnut genotypes for evaluation during summer season of 2006. Genotype ICGV 99195 registered significantly higher pod yield (2.78 t ha-1) compared with all the test varieties except ICGV 00298 (2.77 t ha-1). Local check (G 201) reduced pod yield by a margin of 1.17 t ha-1 and 1.16 t ha-1 in comparison to ICGV 99195 and ICGV 00298, respectively at Regional Research Station, Mainpuri. The order of performance of the cultivars at Regional Agricultural Testing and Demonstration Station, Hardoi was ICGV 99195 (1.66 t ha-1), ICGV 02099 (1.58 t ha-1), ICGV 00298 (1.57 t ha-1), ICGV 00310 (1.55 t ha-1), ICGV 02022 (1.51 t ha-1), ICGV 94361 (1.25 t ha-1) and Kaushal (1.04 t ha-1). At Regional Agricultural Testing and Demonstration Station, Mathura, the highest pod yield of 1.63 t ha-1 was reaped from genotype ICGV 00298 compared with other test genotypes during summer season. Local check ICGS 44 gave pod yield of 1.33 t ha-1. Therefore, the order of performance of the genotypes was ICGV 00298 (1.63 t ha-1), ICGV 00310 (1.57 t ha-1), ICGV 99195 (1.51 t ha-1), ICGV 02099 (1.39 t ha-1), ICGV 94361 (1.36 t ha-1), ICGS 44 (1.33 t ha-1) and ICGV 02022 (1.30 t ha-1). The both high yielder varieties were found suitable under low fertility and moisture stress conditions and negligible losses under both optimum and late sown conditions was seen.
