ThesisItem Open Access CONSTRAINTS OF AGRIBUSINESS IN VARANASI DISTRICT.(DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY VARANASI (U.P) – 221005, 2017) Singh, Kajal; Badal, Prof. P. S.Agribusiness industry deals with the production, processing, marketing and shipments of agricultural produce. It covers a variety of industrial, manufacturing and processing activities based on agricultural raw materials as also activities and services that go as inputs to agriculture. The development of the agribusiness industry can help stabilize and make agriculture more lucrative and create employment opportunities both at the production and marketing stages. This paper tries to explore the opportunities and challenges of agribusiness sector in the country. There is no doubt that agribusiness industry has a lot of potential to improve rural incomes and can play a very significant role in creation of employment for rural youths. The present study focused on the need to critically look at how can people get the opportunities and how can alleviate the constraints faced by the agribusiness sector in the country. There is also need to review the technological supply chain and storage facilities for a wide range of commodities produced in the country. A well-developed agribusiness system in country can make enables millions of farmers and agripreneurs to capitalize the emerging opportunities of the agriculture andallied sector. The development of agribusiness sector is the need of future to strengthening rural employment, food security and living standard of people in the country. The present study of the report about characteristics of Agribusiness in District Varanasi has been described to note the specific management drawback as an were observed and on the basis of which the suggestions. Were concluded to improve the condition of the company from our side as a managerial ability. The selection of firms was taken from MSME office which is situated at Lahartara industrial area. Out of 237 industries a sample of 7 per cent of industries in probability proportions, there were 15 firms have been selected on the basis of turnover of the companies, in which 6 companies are small, 5 are medium and 4 were large. Most important point in the Agro- processing is that a sizable portion of raw material processed in them rural based it has very high employment potential with the significantly lower investment. There were 100 per cent of organizational structure was found in all the firms it means many employees were working in a group and reporting to his supervisors. The planning level was also 100 per cent was top level means mostly all the decision was taken by the higher managerial level. In case of constraints faced by entrepreneurs most of them were facing the problem of local market and improper marketing channel and few of them were facing the problem of higher tax. After analyzing the Educational qualification of the entrepreneurs it has been concluded that there were 54per cent of the entrepreneurs was Graduate, 33per cent was postgraduate and 13per cent were Intermediate. The capital investment in the industries by the Entrepreneurs done through most of the own source of finance about 14 industries were created all the things itself and 1 company have taken the loan from bank. The Technology was adopted by all the firms were mechanized due to less no. of skilled workers and alsoto save the time for the production process. It is concluded that 100per cent of the given firms were using the Machinery for completion their works.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen on yield, quality of wheat and soil fertility in Inceptisol of Varanasi(Department of Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, 2021) Singh, Kajal; Sharma, P. K.Abstract Inadequacy of fertilizers and their rising cost is a serious limitation for crop production. The imbalance between nutrient demand and supply is increasing exponentially day-by-day. Excessive use of agrochemicals such inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. has caused severe effects to human, soil and environmental health are being seriously affected. This experiment is conducted to assess the effects of organic amendments and their substituting capacity for supplementing inorganic fertilizers to some extent. Observations were made that integration of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers gave superior results. Among various organic amendments, poultry manure proved to be the best option as it has highest amount of nutrient content. Yield attributes such as plant height, number of spikes per plant, number of spikelets, spike length, grain yield, stover yield and harvest index along with the quality of grains were significantly influenced by the applied organic amendments. Post-harvest soils were also affected by the kind of manures applied and hence the changes in physicochemical properties of soils were observed. In this study, proofs have been given that optimum doses of fertilizers maintain higher yield of crop and causes minimum damage to ecosystem. Sustainability can be achieved with the help of organic amendments as these conserves physico-chemical properties and soil fertility. This study focuses on benefits of integration nutrient management which is the urgent need of current scenario.
