Book excerpt: Agriculture is the most important sector in the Indian economy and it is basically an energy conversion industry. At present, the use of renewable energy sources such as human labour and animal power is decreasing and the use of mechanical energy (non-renewable in nature) is increasing especially in intensive agriculture leading to adverse effect on farm employment and income distribution. Therefore, a study was carried out to assess economics of energy use in crop production under irrigated situations of Raichur district of Karnataka during the year 2009-10. It was found that the total energy used by small farmers was found to be significantly higher than that of medium and large famers in paddy and cotton cultivation. The total energy used for cotton cultivation was relatively higher (3.23%) than that of paddy cultivation. The output input energy ratio was significantly higher in case of paddy (8.75) than that of cotton (1.78) cultivation. Similar pattern was noticed both in the case of energy productivy and net energy return. Further, it was observed that the total cost of input energy in the case of paddy (Rs. 16,904.58/MJ) cultivation was relatively lower (1.23%) than that of cotton (Rs. 17,114.74/acre) cultivation. However, the net energy returns was considerably higher in case of paddy (Rs. 28,473.49/acre) than that of cotton (Rs. 9,773.83/acre) cultivation. It was found that the bullock energy deman (3,763.07 lakh MJ) was significantly higher (92.58%) than that of total bullock energy supply (279.24 lakh MJ) in Raichur district. Therefore, farmers may be encouraged to maintain and use bullock power in crop production which is cost effective so as to meet the deficit bullock energy supply in Raichur district and the existing transfer of technology programmes needed to be reoriented for use of energy issues in crop production.

Book Synopsis Farm mechanization in India: Economic issues, perspective and opportunities by : Ranjith Kumar P.S
Download or read book Farm mechanization in India: Economic issues, perspective and opportunities written by Ranjith Kumar P.S and published by Prem Jose. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanization is a process of replacing biological sources of energy involving animal and human labour to mechanized sources of energy. Farm mechanization indicates the use of machines for conducting agricultural operations replacing the traditional methods which involve human and animal labour. In the period 2004-05 to 2011-12, robust growth in the secondary and tertiary sectors led to significant job creation in agriculture sector. Tractors and power tillers have been driving the farm mechanization in India. Tractor sales have grown at a CAGR of 9.0 % in Financial Year (FY) 05-15 to around 5.5 lakh tractors in FY15 (around 2.3 lakh in FY2005) whereas sales of power tillers have grown at a CAGR of 10.6% in FY2005 to 2015 to 48,000 power tillers in FY2015 (17,841 in FY2005). Farm mechanisation is a fuel to agriculture production now days. As several studies indicate the mechanisation not only reduced the drudgery of manual labour and it enables the efficient and judicious use of resources. The increased agricultural production and productivity over the decades is coupled with the farm power availability. High labour intensive crops have turned to low labour intensive crops by replacing the mechanical power, which also reduced the cost of production and improved quality of produce led to increased farmers income share.
Book Synopsis Threats and prospects of arecanut cultivation in Karnataka: an economic study by : Ranjith Kumar P.S
Download or read book Threats and prospects of arecanut cultivation in Karnataka: an economic study written by Ranjith Kumar P.S and published by Prem Jose. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term arecanut (Areca catechu L.) means the cluster of nuts. Emergence of the value added arecanut products have given a real boost to arecanut economy in India. Primary data on cost of cultivation of arecanut, perception regarding the constraints and awareness with special focus on emerging alternative arecanut products were collected from the sample farmers, consumers and traders of the sample area. The major source of data for the study was the sample farmers chosen from the selected taluks Viz., Thirthahalli, Kadur, Puttur, Vittla, Tumkur and Hollakere. The data pertain to the consumers and traders were collected from the selected districts namely Shimoga, Mangalore and Bangalore. In order to examine factors influencing the gross returns in arecanut, a regression analysis was carried out. Initially different types of functional forms were examined based on the co-efficient of determination (R2), adjusted R2 and Akaike Information Criterion. Finally the linear form chosen as a better fit based on the explanatory power, which is the co-efficient of determination (R2) and the significance of regression co-efficient. The dependent variable included in the model was gross returns in arecanut. Garret ranking were used to analyze the perception of farmers on production, market and policy based threats. Willingness to consume nutriceutical arecanut products logit analysis was conducted. The secondary data on alternative uses of arecanut were used to analyse the returns from alternative/potential uses of arecanut. Arecanut economy is currently facing crisis from several fronts. Legal Intervention to ban some of the value added products like ghutka is one of the threats which can curtail the demand considerably. Keeping these in background the present study has made an attempt to study the cost of cultivation, major threats, alternative uses of arecanut and awareness among consumers and traders.

Book Synopsis Impact of laser land levelling on food production and farmers’ income: Evidence from drought prone semi-arid tropics in India by : Pal, Barun Deb
Download or read book Impact of laser land levelling on food production and farmers’ income: Evidence from drought prone semi-arid tropics in India written by Pal, Barun Deb and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change has brought large instabilities in agricultural systems, in terms of both crop yield and net farm income. Climate smart agriculture is one of the innovative methods that tries to build resilience in agricultural systems. A study is conducted in Raichur district of Karnataka state in India to assess the impact of adoption of laser land levelling (LLL), a climate smart agriculture technology, on crop yield and farmers’ income. A primary survey was conducted in 2018 among 604 paddy growing farmers in Raichur district. The study provides results based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data. The study examines farmers’ perceptions about climate change and effectiveness of LLL. Statistically, the results are evaluated using econometric methods like propensity score matching, coarsened exact matching, and endogenous switching regression. Advanced econometric methods are adopted to check for the problem of unobserved endogeneity. Adoption of laser land levelers increased crop yield by 0.5 tonnes/hectare and net farm income by Rs. 5000 per annum. Further, farmers observed drought as the most extreme climatic event which resulted in heavy crop loss to them. Lastly, farmers revealed that adoption of LLL reduced cost of cultivation and limits crop loss due to climate variability.
