Abstract: A farmer’s participatory field experiment was conducted during two rabi seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at farmers’ fields in Lohawat,Kalimai, Siyonka baas and Bhojka villages of Jodhpur district of Rajasthan on loamy fine to coarse and medium to low in fertility status. The study aimed to analyze the performance and adoption of improved new agriculture technology is a crucialaspects under innovation diffusion process and the most important forenhancing agriculture production at a faster rate. These aspect On Farm Trials technology is one of the most powerful tools for assessment and transfer of technology.The present study was find out the production enhancement and economics through On Farm Trials technology of wheat on farmers’ fields. The technology On Farm Trial recorded additional pooled yield over farmers’ practices under OFTs the grain, straw and biologicalyieldsof wheat was increased 17.08, 13.63and15.10percent over farmers’ practices. Adoption of improvedpackage of practices under OFTs in wheat cultivation recorded higher B:C ratio 4.66 as compared to farmers’ practices 4.07 and net returns under OFTs was Rs. 101700 and farmers’practicesRs84325 recorded. Improved technology (OFTs) grain, straw and biological yields was 41.8, 54.2 and 96q/ha as compared to farmers’ practices 35.7, 47.7 and 83.4 q/ha.
