Water is a critical input for success of agriculture and its ever widening technology creation. Water scarcity as a risk has always been a part of agriculture and farm business. Hence, management of available irrigation water assumes great importance in the field of agriculture. The present study was attempted in Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu, India, because of the availability of exclusive dry farms. In Namakkal district, blocks namely Namakkal, Mohanur, Pudhuchatram, Tiruchengode for each risky crop were purposively selected on the basis of area, production and productivity of those crops. Linear programming model was applied to derive optimal crop plan for the sample farms under water stress conditions. Optimization of crop portfolio for the selected farm is a type of risk management strategy. The decline in gross cropped area in Namakkal block would imply relatively less pressure on land that would again indicate the sign of bringing in sustainability of the productive capacity of the land. Even though the decline trend in net income, it showed that the resources which were used in the cultivation as efficiency factor in Pudhuchatram. The results indicated that water and other resources were used efficiently to get optimum pattern in the cultivation of different crops.Keywords

The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large her baceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. Banana is a globally important fruit crop with 97.5 million tones of production. In India it supports livelihood of millions of people with total annual production of 16.91 million tones from 490.70 thousand ha. with national average of 33.5 T/ ha. Banana contributes 37 per cent to total fruit production in India. Forecasting tools was used study of banana in Tamil Nadu. According to the MAPE value ARIMA method is most appropriate method for forecasting in banana. The cost and returns analysis reveals that higher net returns was realized in Nendran variety.Keywords

Good agricultural practices (GAPs) in mango production are essential to enable farm produce to be internationally competitive with sufficient institutional credit. Economic efficiency of 0.45 and 0.68 respectively for conventional and GAP farms in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu, India implies that there is scope to increase mango output by 55% and 32% respectively, by optimum allocation of resources. The highest return invested by GAP borrowers might be due to efficient use of resource and GAPs. The extension workers should develop strategies to increase income through adoption of GAPs, efficient use of resources and strengthening the loan delivery mechanism to enhance mango production.Keywords
