Despite relatively favourable soils and climate, yield levels for most of the crops are low in the district. It can be visualised from Table 2.11 that there is wide yield gap in the district and the state. From those obtained in national demonstration and other trials. The latter indicates achievable yields with existing knowledge. These data also reinforce the point made earlier that crop output can be substantially raised in the district. There are technological and socio economic constraints, which are responsible for these gaps. Studying and ameliorating them should receive high priority.
