For the study, 90 farmers and 45 market intermediaries were selected randomly. Primary data were collected through pre-tested and well structured schedules. Secondary data for 15 years period from 2000-01 to 2014-15 was collected. The study analyzed growth in area, production and productivity, cost and returns, resource use efficiency, marketing channels, price spread and problems in production and marketing. Compound annual growth rate, tabular analysis and Cobb-Douglas production function were employed as analytical tools. The area and production under chrysanthemum in Karnataka increased at the rate of 4.02 and 3.94 per cent per annum respectively but productivity decreased at the rate of 0.19 per cent per annum. The highest proportion of male labour was required for preparatory tillage (32.32 %). A large amount of female labour was used for harvesting of flowers (41.19 %), planting (32.20 %) and weeding (15.13 %). Major quantity of chrysanthemum flower was sold through producer-commission agent cum wholesaler-retailer-consumer (Channel-II) in the selected districts of the study area. Commission and transportation charges were major items of marketing cost and producer share in consumer’s rupee was more in producer-retailer-consumer (Channel-I) in all the districts. In Gadag district producer share in consumer’s rupee was more in Channel-II (58.33 %). Per hectare cost of cultivation and gross returns of flower was 91,382 and 2,47,683, respectively. Cultivation of chrysanthemum flower provided assured return of 1,56,301 per ha even after recovering the fixed and variable costs. Pests and diseases, commission charges and fluctuation in market prices were major problems faced by growers.ThesisItem Open Access Production and Marketing Management by Karnataka State Seeds Corporation Ltd., in Gadag District(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2017-08) Patil, Pavitra O.; Kerur, N.M.Seed is a basic input. Productivity and profitability depends on quality of the seeds. The present study was undertaken by the Department of Agribusiness Management, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad conducted in Gadag district of Karnataka during 2016-17. KSSC is involved in production, procurement, processing and marketing of seeds. Gadag district was selected purposively based on the procurement of highest quantity of bengalgram, greengram and sorghum seeds by KSSC Ltd., in Gadag district. All five taluk of Gadag district were selected, ten seed producing farmers from each taluk and for each crop were randomly selected. Total sample size was 150. Primary data was obtained from the seed producers and KSSC officials with the pre-tested questionnaire pertaining to input, labour, cost and returns structure of seed production. Secondary data was collected from KSSC Gadag office with respect to organizational structure, seed procurement and marketing management for the period of 2004-05 to 2015-16. Tabular analysis, Compound Annual Growth Rate and Garrett ranking were employed for the study. KSSC Ltd., is having line and staff type of organizational structure. The result revealed that per hectare cost of production of sorghum, greengram and bengalgram seeds were 23,919, 37,706 and 34,940, respectively and the net returns of respective seeds were 27,644, 88,424 and 50,767. Seed procurement of KSSC over the years showed the negative growth rate for sorghum, while in case of greengram and bengalgram showed positive growth rate. There were two major marketing channels for seed supply one through its own outlets and others through Raith Samparka Kendras.
