Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to study the "analysis of yield gap in tur in Amravati district" with view to work out the economics tur production and resource use efficiency. The study was based on primary data on input used and there upon costs was collected from two tahsils viz., Amravati and Nandgoan khandeshwar from two tahsils 45 samples were selected. Per hectare input utilization for tur 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 tur for the sample as whole was Rs. 43118.82 per hectore. Gross retuns from tur at overall level was Rs.71349.48. The input-Output ratio at overall size cost 'C' was 1.65. for the study resource use efficiency of tur, Cobb-Douglas production function was used. In the overall group resources human labour, bullock labour, machine labour, fertilizer, plant protection and area were significant. Marginal value of product to factor cost ratio at overall group in case of human labour, machine labour, fertilizer was positive and bullock labour, seeds, manure, plant protection are negative. Marginal physical product to factor cost ratio indicates the change in total physical product to the change in input level of particular independent variable.

Abstract

The study had been made to examine the economics of farming systems in Amravati district. The investigation was based on the primary data collected by personal interview method from 90 cultivators for the year 2014-15. Three farming systems i.e. crop, crop + dairy, crop + horticulture were identified in the study area. In case of crop farming system, cost 'A', cost 'B' and cost 'C' was Rs. 37221.82 Rs. 51949.72 and Rs. 59873.06, respectively. In case of crop + dairy farming system, cost 'A', cost 'B' and cost 'C' was Rs. 49892.83, Rs. 72694.54 and Rs. 80219.31, respectively. In case of crop + horticulture farming system, cost 'A', cost 'B' and cost 'C' were Rs. 70693.16, Rs. 96311.48 and Rs. 104534.34, respectively. The highest B:C at cost 'A' was recorded in crop + dairy farming system i.e. 2.50, followed by crop + farming system i.e. 2.07, followed by crop + horticulture (orange) farming systems i.e. 1.99 The B:C was observed highest in case of crop + dairy farming system at cost 'C' i.e. 1.56,followerd by crop + horticulture farming systems i.e.1.35, followerd by crop farming system i.e.1.29. Hence, crop + dairy farming system was profitable than other two farming systems.

Abstract

In this study an attempt has been made to study the growth and instability of soybean crop in Amravati division. The study was based on secondary data on area, production and productivity of soybean crop collected from various government publications. The study revealed that compound growth rate for area and production of soybean was recorded very high during period I. The co-efficient of variation with regards to area and production (37.59% and 22.23 %) were lowest in Amravati district. However, Coppock's instability index with regards to area and productivity (13.01% and 18.84 %) were lowest in Amravati division as a whole. At overall period, the area effect was most stronger factor for increasing production of soybean in all the districts and division as a whole.

Abstract

In the present investigation, an attempt was made to study the decomposition and acreage response of chickpea in western Vidarbha. The study was based on time series secondary data on the rainfall, farm harvest price and other data, which were obtained from various Government publications. Nerlovian lagged adjustment model (1958) was used in acreage response analysis based on time series data. The study revealed that the compound growth rate for area and production under chickpea was recorded high during period I in all the districts. During period II, the area, production and productivity of chickpea registered mostly negative growth rates in all the districts. During period III, the compound growth rate for area, production and productivity under chickpea has increased in all the districts of western Vidarbha region. During overall period, the co-efficient of variation and Coppock's instability index for area, production were high in Yavatmal district compared to other districts. At overall period, the area effect (37.44%) was most responsible factor for increasing production in Amravati division with positive yield and interaction effect i.e., 6.78 per cent and 55.69 per cent, respectively.

Abstract

In this study an attempt had been made to study the growth and instability of soybean in Amravati division. The study was based on secondary data on area, production and productivity of soybean, FHP and rainfall, collected from the various Government publications. The study revealed that compound growth rates for area, production and productivity of soybean was recorded positive. The growth rate for area, production and productivity was recorded high during period I. The co-efficient of variation and coppock's instability index with regards to area (1.08 and 0.62) productivity (2.00 and 1.62) were lowest in Akola and Amavati district, respectively, whereas production was recorded lowest co-efficient of variation and coppock's instability index in Akola district (0.86 and 0.48). At overall period, area effect, yield effect, and interaction effect do not show any influence on one another. The study also reveals that, the short run price elasticity were comparatively higher than the long run price elasticity in soybean, which indicated that the farmers were relatively market oriented in their decision in long run than in the short turn.
