Two districts namely; Karnal and Kurukshetra which are having higher area under rice production were purposively selected. Two blocks namely; Taraori and Thanesar from Karnal and Kurukshetra respectively were randomly selected. Four villages namely; Janzeri & Shamgarh from Taraori; Jyothisar & Kirmath from Kurukshetra were randomly selected. 50 farmers from each block who cultivating all the three varieties namely; basmati, superfine non-basmati and coarse & medium grain varieties were included in the sample. Thus making a total sample of 100 respondents. Primary as well as secondary data was collected to achieve the objectives of the study. Primary data was collected with the help of a pretested interview schedule which included various aspects of cost of cultivation of basmati, superfine non-basmati and coarse & medium grain rice varieties and constraints in production of basmati rice. The primary data from exporters and millers were also collected to know the constraints in export of basmati rice. Secondary data to find the trend in area and production of basmati rice was collected from Directorate of Agriculture, Panchkula. Compound growth model was used to calculate the trend in area and production of basmati. Tabulation was used to work out the comparative economics of basmati, superfine non-basmati and coarse & medium grain paddy varieties. The result reveals that the trend in area and production of basmati rice was slowly increasing over the period of thirteen years at the compound growth rate of 5.64% and 6.67% per annum respectively. But the observed values of area and production of basmati rice were highly uncertain during the same periods. The comparative economics of basmati, superfine non-basmati and coarse & medium grain paddy reveals that basmati was most profitable variety than other varieties. The basmati having net return of Rs 3686 per hectare followed by Rs. 2867 and Rs. 2354 from coarse & medium grain and superfine non-basmati paddy respectively. The same pattern of return was observed in return over variable cost. Interview with farmers, exporters and millers reveals that market price fluctuations, low yield, lodging etc. were the major constraints faced by farmers. High international price fluctuations, processing cost, transport expenses, lack of value added products etc. were the major constraints faced by the exporters.ThesisItem Open Access Dynamics of agricultural production in dry land area of Haryana(CCSHAU, 2005) Yadav, Pawan; Mehta, V.P.The study is based on primary and secondary data. The secondary data for the period 1981-82 to 2001-02 was collected for Mohindergarh, dry land region and Haryana State. The study examines the coefficient of variability and instability in area, production and productivity of principal crops in Haryana state for six periods i.e. 1981-82 to 1984-85, 1985-86 to 19888-89, 1989-90 to 1992-93, 1993-94 to 1996-97, 1997-98 to 2001-02 and 1981-82 to 2001-02. These periods have been further divided as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and overall period, respectively. The study shows that the production variability was lower in wheat (27.36 per cent), cotton (American – 31.49 per cent) and bajra (36.94 per cent) and these crops and crop groups were found more stable. Whereas, the variability of production was higher in gram (49.44 per cent), rapeseed and mustard (48.71 per cent) and cotton (desi – 47.66 per cent) in the state. Further, the magnitude of instability was lower in yield than in production and affects the importance of area variability in production variability. The result of the multiple regression equation reveals that maximum contribution in agricultural production in Mohindergarh has been that of price index, followed by gross irrigated area and cooperative credit. In dry land region of Haryana, maximum contribution in agricultural production has been that of average rainfall and number of tractors. In Haryana, the maximum contribution has been that of fertilizer consumption and gross irrigated area. The technological break through and other infrastructural changes have also contributed significantly to the production index. The primary data pertaining to constraints in agricultural production were collected by personal interview with the selected respondents. The results found that farmers avoid the use of costly in bajra crop and there exists substantial attainable yield gaps affected by the difference in the yield obtained by progressive top 20 per cent in most of the crops. Lack of adoption of improved production technology and management practices. There is a great need to educate the farmers pertaining to balanced fertilization. The adequate use of phosphorus, potash and zinc needs to be popularized among the masses of the farmers. Also, there is need to evolve HYVs of the crops which are also resistant to common diseases and insects pests.
