    (405, 2024-12-06) ANITHA RAJ, N.; Shivaramu. K )
    The present study was carried out to analyse the resource management by farmers in different farming situations. In Assured farming situation (Mandya), Protected farming situation (Chikkaballapur) and Rainfed situation (Tumakuru) districts were selected. Data was collected from 60 farmers each farming situation comprising of 180 samples using pre-tested interview schedule through personal interview method. Standardized index to measure resource management was developed and applied in the study. The student ‘t’ test applied to test the significant difference among the different farming situations in resource management tuned out to be positive and significant difference among different farming situations viz., assured, protected and rainfed farming situations. The mean score of protected farming situation was more (0.0515) followed by rainfed farming situation (0.0151) and assured farming situation (0.0109). The student ‘t’ test applied to test the significant difference among the different farming situations in economic performance was tuned out to be positive and significant difference among different farming situations. Mean score of protected farming situation was more (297.93) followed by assured farming situation (243.09) and rainfed farming situation (229.94) respectively. The major constraints expressed by majority of farmers in all the three farming situations are increase in cost of inputs, farming is not profitable, non- availability of agricultural implements suitable for small and marginal farmers, erratic rainfall, lack of suitable markets for agricultural products and difficulty in getting credit to agricultural activities from nationalized banks. Major suggestions to overcome constraints are government should fix minimum support price to agricultural produce, assured and remunerative price to agricultural produce, development of agricultural implements suitable to small and marginal farmers and nationalized banks to provide agricultural loans to the farmers at a lower interest rate.
