Abstract: The present study was conducted in Gudhamalani, Panchayat Samiti, Barmer district of Rajasthan. From Panchayat Samiti was selected maximum number (70) of front line demonstrations on Isabgol crop conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Gudamanalani , Barmer district during the last two years (2018-19 to 2019-20). The results revealed that the average yield recorded in the FLD,s field and farmer’s field was 9.15 and 7.79 q/ha’ during 2018-2019 and 2019-20, respectively. The result showed 13.40 to 21.90 per cent yield increase in FLDs over farmers practice during 2018- 19 to 2019-2020. Therefore, front line demonstration programme was an effective tool for increasing the productivity of isabgol and changing knowledge, attitude and skill of farmers. This created greater awareness and motivated the other farmers to adopt improved practices of isabgol.
