The present investigation aims in studying the Crop diversification in Akola district. The present study was based on secondary data collected from different government publications. The data covered a period of 15 years i.e., 1995-96 to 2009-10. In all 6 crops were considered for study. Herfindahl index and entropy index has been used to study the extent of crop diversification. In order to study the economics of crop diversification, land concentration was computed for selected years. Tahsilwise analysis showed that the area under Kharif Jowar has found to be decreased in all the tahsils of Akola district. Area under soybean crop was increased in Balapur and Murtijapur tahsil. The area under Wheat has found to be increased in Akot and Patur tahsils. Cotton still remains as major crop of the district. In Akot, Balapur, Murtijapur and Patur tahsils along with Akola district crop diversification has significantly increased during the study period. The diversification from subsistence crop to more commercial crops were took place in selected tahsils. Cotton and Soybean shows increasing land concentration ratio from year 1995-96 to 2009-10, so soybean is more adventitious crops in Akot, Balapur, Murtijapur and Patur tahsils of Akola district.Keywords

The study has been examined the growth rates of area, production and productivity of major crops and changes in cropping pattern in Akola district of Vidarbha. The present study was based on secondary data collected from different government publications. The data covered a period of 15 years i.e., 1995-96 to 2009-10. In all 6 crops were considered for study. These crops covered more than 80 per cent of the total cropped area of the study area. The growth rate was used to examine performance of major crops, Simple tabular analysis was used to examine the changes in cropping pattern in Akola district. The analysis showed that the area under Kharif jowar has found to be decreased in of Akola district. Area under soybean crop was increased in Akola district. The area under wheat has found to be increased and Cotton still remains as major crop of the district.Keywords

Data pertained to the year 2010-2011 in order to study constraints and suggestions of milk producers in Pune district of Maharashtra. Frequency and percentage was used to analyze the constraints and suggestions of milk producers. The results revealed that the high cost of feed and fodder was savior problem which was expressed by 97.91 per cent. Unavailability of labours was next major problem which was expressed by 95.83 per cent. Non-availability of green fodder thought out the year was obtained by 89.16 per cent. In regard to suggestions it was observed that 95.83 per cent of dairy unit owners suggested the production of required quantity of green fodder at home. Similarly, adoption of mechanization for dairy unit was suggested by 91.66 per cent of dairy unit owners.Keywords
