Abstract

The findings of the study reveal that the small, medium, large goat rearers and goat farms with average herd size (including below and above one year) were 13.71, 21.28, 34.21, 73.30, respectively. Increase in stock at the end of the year was 14.21, 21.74, 34.55, 75.10, respectively in case of small, medium, large categories of goat rearers and goat farms. Average total cost incurred was found to be Rs. 28094.76, Rs. 41816.50, Rs. 58966.38 and Rs. 146114.10, respectively towards small, medium, large goat rearers and goat farms. The average capital investment was Rs. 45299.38, Rs. 66820.02, Rs. 109207.81, Rs. 67822.24, Rs. 213357.40, respectively towards small, medium, large, overall goat rearers and goat farms.

Abstract

The study was undertaken in the year 2012- 2013. A sample of 120 farmers was randomly selected in 14 villages of Chandur Bazar Punchayat Samiti of Amravati district of Maharashtra. The investigation revealed that 55.83 per cent of respondents of orange growers had medium level of adoption of drip irrigation technologies while, 33.33 per cent of respondents of orange growers had high level of adoption and 10.83 per cent of respondent possessed low level of adoption of drip irrigation technologies. The correlation analysis related to independent variable viz., education, land holding, annual income, cosmopolitness, innovativeness, extension contact, knowledge, irrigation source, risk preference and cropping pattern showed significant and positive relationship with adoption of drip irrigation technologies. While only age showed negative and non significant relationship between adoption of drip irrigation technologies.

Abstract

It was observed that the characteristics namely size of land holding and occupation of parents were having negative and significant relationship with aspiration of the respondents at 0.05 per cent level of significance. Family education status and academic performance were positively non-significant with aspirations of respondent at 0.05 per cent level of significance. Relationship between other characteristics of the respondents namely size of family, family background and annual family income showed negative and non-significant relationship with aspiration. It was observed that with regarding to constraints reported majority 68.75 per cent respondents had faced constraints like unavailability of internet facility. 58.75 per cent respondents had faced constraints like irregularity in educational tour. 36.25 per cent respondents had faced constraints of unavailability of sports coaching. 26.25 per cent respondents reported that they had constraints as unavailability of adequate number of text books in library.

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.
