THE COST AND RETURNS STRUCTURES OF MAJOR GROUNDNUT BASED CROPPING SYSTEMS IN PAVAGADA TALUK OF TUMKUR DISTRICT IN KARNATAKA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 56
Abstract
The study was undertaken with an objective to quantify the comparative economics of Groundnut based Cropping Systems in Pavagada Taluk of Tumkur District in Karnataka. A sample of 96 farmers was selected using multistage stratified random sampling method and data was collected through personal interview method. The Tabular analysis were employed for analysis of data. Cropping System (CS)-I (Groundnut+Redgram+Greengram+Cowpea), CS-II (Groundnut+Redgram), CS-III (Groundnut sole), were the three important Groundnut based Cropping System (CS) followed in the study area. Under rain fed condition, it was found that, per acre total variable cost was high in CS-I (Rs. 7,864.13/acre), followed by CS-III (Rs. 7,653.73/acre) and CS-II (7426.58/acre). The acre total fixed cost was high in CS-II (Rs. 1800.58/acre), followed by CS-III (Rs 1791.69/acre) and CS-I (Rs. 1740.08/acre). The maximum net returns were found under CS-I (Rs. 8512.79/acre), followed by CS-II and CS-III (Rs.6805.06 and Rs.5857.23/acre, respectively).It was found that Returns per rupee of investment was found to highest in CS-I (1.89), followed by CS-II and CS-III with values of 1.74 and 1.64 respectively. The results of the study through light on and enable the farmers and extension agencies to plan for the appropriate Cropping System.
