Abstract

The present study entitled, "Impact of farm pond's on farmer's economy in Amravati district: A comparative analysis. The study was undertaken to examine the impact of farm pond's on production of major crops. For the present study, 40 beneficiary farmers having farm pond's and 40 non-beneficiary farmer's without farm pond's on their field were selected from Morshi tahsils of Amravati district. 5 villages from Morshi tahsil were selected purposively and, from each village 8 beneficiary farmers and 8 non-beneficiary farmers were selected randomly. The selected farmers were classified into three category viz., small, medium, large according to their size of land holding. The primary data was collected from the farmers by survey method and standard costs concept i.e., cost 'A', cost 'B' and cost 'C' was used for the analysis of data.

Keywords

Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to study analysis of yield gap in wheat in Amravati district with view to study the economics of wheat production and resource use efficiency. The study was based on primary data on input used and there upon costs was collected from two tehsils viz., Amravati and Morshi and from each tahsil 45 samples were selected. Per hectare input utilization for wheat indicated that the medium farmers were used higher inputs as compared to other farm size group of farmers. Per hectare total cost of cultivation of wheat for the sample as whole was Rs. 37235.99 per hectare, gross return from wheat at overall level was Rs. 63861.60. The input-output relationship at overall size group was 1.76 at Cost 'C For the study resource use efficiency of wheat, Cobb-Douglas production function was used. In the overall group resources seed, plant protection and area were significant. Marginal value of product to factor cost ratio at overall group, in case of Human labour, bullock labour and seed was positive and more than one and in case of machine labour, fertilizer, manure, plant protection and area it was negative and less than one.
