The functional analysis was carried out to know the contribution of independent variables in yield of sugarcane. From the estimated Cobb-Douglas production function (log linear production function), it was observed that, in suru sugarcane co-efficient of determination (R2) was 0.9113 indicating 91 per cent of variation and in ratoon sugarcane co-efficient of determination (R2) was 0.9344 indicating that, 93 per cent of the variation in the yield explained by identified input variables included in the function. The expenditure on manures, plant protection, potassium and nitrogen in suru sugarcane cultivation and plant protection and manures to be curtailed considering their excess utilization in ratoon sugarcane cultivation. Whereas, MVP to FC ratios was more than unity for phosphorus and nitrogen, human labour, irrigation indicated under utilization of these resources in sugarcane cultivation which underlines scope of expanding the use of these inputs.Keywords

In suru sugarcane group per hectare cost 'A' was Rs. 75,423, cost 'B' was Rs. 1,15,600 and cost 'C' was Rs. 1,43,664 while in ratoon sugarcane group per hectare cost 'A' was Rs. 48,228, cost 'B' was Rs. 71,693 and cost 'C' was Rs. 88,873, respectively. The net returns in suru sugarcane group were Rs. 1,63,286, Rs. 1,23,109 and Rs. 95,045 at cost 'A', 'B' and 'C', respectively while in ratoon sugarcane group net returns were Rs. 91,339, Rs. 67,874 and Rs. 50,694 at cost 'A', 'B' and 'C', respectively. The analysis of per hectare profitability of suru sugarcane and ratoon sugarcane crop indicated that cultivation of both type of sugarcane were profitable at all the levels of cost, as indicated by into benefit-cost ratio of suru sugarcane 1.66 and ratoon sugarcane 1.57. In suru sugarcane group per hectare main produce was 102.45 tonne and by produce was 20.49 tonne while in ratoon sugarcane group main produce was 59.90 tonne and by produce was 11.98 tonne.Keywords

Among the three necessities of life, food is the foremost. Adequate and nutritious food is necessary for good physical and mental development. A good health and sound man power base needed for agricultural growth is ultimately dependent on nutritious diet. A poor nutrition on the contrary hampers, health and productivity of labour resulting in stagnation of agricultural growth- Balanced diet which also includes protective foods is essential to protect human body from deficiency and other diseases and prevent body deformities. Indian diet has always consisted of cereals and pulses reports Sukhatme' Dandekar and Rath have found that about 50 per cent of the urban population in the country was below the level of expenditure corresponding to 2250 calories.- Impact of Women Self-help Groups (SHGs) on Income, Employment, Investment and Saving in South Konkan Region

The present study entitled, "Impact of women self help groups on income, employment, investment and saving in South konkan Region" was carried out in South Konkan region purposively. From Ratangiri district Dapoli, Khed and Guhaghar while from Sindhudurg district Kudal, Devgad and Kankavali tahsils were selected. From each tahsil, ten SHGs and five members of each SHG were selected randomly. Thus, final sample consisted of 60 SHGs, 300 SHG members. The selected SHGs were categorized taking into consideration group activities performed by SHG. The SHGs were classified as farming activities, agro-processing activities, and non-farming activities. This indicated that after joining the SHG, per member income increased to the extent of 13.87 per cent. This increase in income was 14.84 per cent in farming, 12.31 per cent in agro-processing and 14.63 per cent in non-farming category. Within different categories of groups, the increase in employment was 83.18 per cent in farming category, 61.95 per cent in agro-processing category and 77.41 per cent in non-farming category. The investment in different assets increased to the extent of 22.62 per cent after participation in SHG group. Within different categories of groups, the increase in investment was 22.22 per cent in farming category, 16.83 per cent in agro-processing category and 26.82 per cent in non-farming category. After participation in SHG activities per member saving increased by 27.84 per cent.Keywords

The Paclobutrozol (PBZ) application has induced early flowering in rainfed mango orchard due to enhanced use of critical inputs as a per canopy of mango tree. The application of manures and fertilizers viz., N.P.K. when compared with recommended levels. The analysis revealed that the input gap for manures was to the extent of 78.5 per cent in PBZ non-adopter group and 74.7 per cent in PBZ adopter group. In case of chemical fertilizer viz., N.P.K. was to the extent of 58.67 per cent, 34 per cent and 59 per cent in PBZ non-adopter group and 9.33 per cent, 14 per cent and 46 per cent in PBZ adopters group, respectively. On account of this, the per hectare productivity of rainfed mango orchard was 6.2 t/ha in PBZ adopter category and 3.9 t/ha in PBZ non-adopter category. The per hectare cost of cultivation was Rs. 122373/- and Rs. 69561/- with per tone cost of cultivation of mango was to the tune of Rs. 26037/- and Rs. 23822/ - in PBZ adopter and PBZ non-adopter category, respectively. The per hectare gross returns were Rs. 251450/- and Rs. 119720/- with benefit cost ratio of 2.05 and 1.72 in PBZ in the same order. The benefits due to PBZ, application were valued to Rs. 95230/ha with a additional cost of Rs. 27730/ha realizing net incremental benefits to the tune of Rs. 67460/ha. Better productivity and price advantage grabbed in the early start of marketing season, were the benefits to the PBZ adopter category which resulted into higher per hectare income. As a whole, the net returns were 157.33 per cent higher for PBZ adopters than to PBZ non-adopters.

The research study was carried out in South Konkan region of Maharashtra during year 2017-18 by following the simple random sampling of 100 respondents from 20 villages of two districts namely Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg and 50 intermediaries were selected from study area. The data was elicited through personal interview method. The findings revealed that, the average quantity of alphonso mango passed by the average individual farmers through channel-I was 23.02 q, channel- II, 63.09 q, channel-III 9.16q, channel-IV 5.93q, channel-V 7.89q in the study area. In channel-I the total post-harvest losses in alphonso mango was found to be 27.88 per cent, in channel-II 25.41 per cent, in channel-III 7.07 per cent, in channel-IV, 15.63 per cent and channel-V 22.31 per cent. The average overall post-harvest losses in alphonso mango from field level to marketing level including all marketing operations estimated to 32.29 per cent. In monetary term, at individual farmer level, the total of Rs. 1.37 lakh had been estimated as post-harvest losses, out of that Rs. 0.46 lakh losses were accounted at field level of individual farmer and Rs. 0.91 lakh of losses were accounted at performing various marketing activities. In case of average marketing intermediaries’ level, the total loss in alphonso mango accounted to Rs. 1.99 lakh and out that Rs. 1.53 lakh was loosed during marketing activities.Keywords
