Abstract

In this study an attempt has been made to study the economic analysis of broiler production in Wardha district with views to study the cost of broiler production. For the present study twenty broiler units from Wardha district were selected and grouped into small (1-2000 birds), medium (2001-4000 birds) and large (40001 birds and above).The study was based on the primary data of broiler production collected from the selected sample and economics of broiler production was worked out by using standard cost concept. The study revealed that, the cost of broiler production was highest in large unit (Rs. 3560277) followed by medium unit (Rs. 2526301) and small unit (Rs. 1124360), While the per kg cost of production was highest in small unit (Rs. 65.27) followed by medium (Rs. 63.29) and large (Rs. 61.44) The study also revealed that the benefit cost ratio was more in large unit (1.19) as compared to medium unit (1.15) and small unit (1.11).

Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to study the growth and instability of cotton crop in Amravati division. The study was based on secondary data on area, production and productivity of cotton crop collected from various government publications. The study revealed that compound growth rate of area under cotton was recorded high during period I. The growth rate of yield under cotton was recorded high during period III. The co-efficient of variation and Coppock's instability index with regards to area (5.41 and 6.35 %) was lowest in Akola district among cotton growing districts of Amravati division. However, co-efficient of variation with regards to productivity (31.58 %) was lowest in Yavatmal district and Coppock's instability index with regards to productivity (27.40 %) was lowest in Amravati district. At overall period, the area effect was most stronger factor for increasing production of cotton in all the districts and division as a whole.

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.
