The present investigation was carried out in 10 villages of Aurangabad and Ahmednagar districsts of Maharashtra state. The total of 12 farmers practising cotton cropping system from each village were selected accordingly. In this way 120 farmers were taken as respondents. The data were collected through personal interview method. Four species of cotton is grown in Maharashtra namely, Gossypium hirsutum, G.arboreum, G. barbandense and G. herbaceum. Out of these, G. hirsutum occupies largest area covering about 52-53 per cent of cotton. Out of total studied varieties, the hybrid varieties such as Gold 50 gave more yield compared to other varieties. Almost all the hybrid varieties were good to be cultivated. The climatic conditions of Maharashtra are also good for getting good cotton yield. Successful cultivation of hybrid cotton in Maharashtra has brought a new hope of hybrid cotton research and development in India as well spread of hybrid cotton would help to increase global cotton production.Keywords

The per capita consumption of wine in India is only 10 ml per annum as against 100 litres per year in Argentina and 65 litres in the European countries. Wine contains natural antioxidants that increase the life. Drinking of wine increases blood circulation that results into efficiency of working and decreases the tensions. Wine also contains mineral components that increase immunity power. So, it was felt necessary to study the consumer buying behaviour for wine with special reference to Sula vineyards. The findings of the study showed that majority of the consumers know about brand name and consider taste of the wine, while most preferred quality and only least think about the price of the wine. It was noted that White and Red wine have more demand in Nashik market. Sula vineyards has the most demand in Nashik market compared to its competitors.
