Abstract: 

Durum Wheat (Triticum tergidum L.) is an economically important crop grown worldwide including India. It is being cultivated 10 to 11% of world area and accounts about 8% of the total Wheat production. Durum is 2nd most important species grown in the country. The aestivam wheat is invariably consumed as chapatti. Durum Wheat is consumed in the form of suji, macroni, noodles, sevai, pasta and some local product like “bati”and “baffle”. In central india it is being cultivated in Malva region, Sourastra and Kathiaward in Gujarat and Kota, Bundi, Jhalawad and Udaipur regions of Rajasthan Bundelkhand region and west Maharashtra since long time and its traditional food product like Bati, Bafla, Dalia, Churma, LapsiUpmaetc are being consumed as staple food. The frontline demonstration is to demonstrate potential of new varieties, newly released crop production and protection technologies and its management practices in the farmers’ field under different farming situations. The present study is an attempt to evaluate Scientific Temperament of Durum Wheat Growers under FLD in Indore district with 120 durum wheat beneficiaries. The major finding of the study was Majority of the respondents (beneficiaries of FLD programme and nonbeneficiaries) possessed medium level of scientific temperament. The mean value of scientific temperament of beneficiary farmers of FLD was higher than the mean score of scientific temperament of non-beneficiaries. The‘t’ test indicated that there is a significant difference between scores mean of both the group. Thus, it can be stated that, there is an impact of FLD programme on scientific temperament of the wheat growers.
