    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-11-22) SUDHIR; Rai, R.K.
    The study was carried out to examine an “Economic analysis of chickpea among members and non-members in farmer producer organizations (FPOs) in Banda District (U.P.)” The Banda district comprises eight blocks i.e. Badokhar Khurd, Jaspura, Tindwari, Naraini, Mahuva, Baberu, Bisanda and Kamasin. Among these, Mahuwa block was selected purposively, because it had highest number of FPOs. In Mahuva block, out of eight FPOs four FPOs were selected in which total 60 members and 60 non-members from 4 villages were selected to make 120 samples for the study. The variables of socio-economic status of chickpea growers had revealed that the majority of FPOs members had completed their middle school education (33.34 per cent) and while the majority of non-member had only completed their primary school (58.34 per cent). The majority of per cent of members (60 per cent) and non-members (70.0 per cent) belongs only agriculture sector while the annual income for members was 10 per cent and non-members was 3.33 per cent for range of 1,50,001-2,00,000. Further, the study revealed that the about 55 per cent of members and 38.3 per cent of non-members occupied the small (1.0 to 2.0 ha) land holding. The majority of both members and non-members having the buffalo cattle which was 91.67 per cent for FPOs members and 80 per cent for non-members. The cost and returns analysis indicated that the total cost of cultivation for FPOs members was Rs. 34821.03 per hectare and non-members was Rs. 36186.01 per hectare. The analysis of return indicated about the total net return for the FPOs members was Rs. 27542.72 per hectare and cost of production per quintal was Rs.2161.45 while the total net returns for the non-members was Rs. 12922.88 per hectare and cost of production per quintal was Rs. 2631.70 and B:C ratio for FPOs members was 1:1.79 whereas non-members was 1:1.35. This indicates that the FPOs members spends less and earns more in comparison to non-members. Further, the analysis of marketing costs indicates that the total marketing costs for FPOs members was 265 Rs. /Qtl whereas total marketing cost spent by non-members was 480 Rs. /Qtl. About Rs. 290 per quintal and Rs. 500 per quintal was the analyzed marketing margin under FPOs channel in chickpea for members and non-members. The producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was estimated 89.63 per cent for FPOs members and 81.78 per cent for non-members. The problems identified in the study area faced by FPOs members and non-members by the means of weighted mean score was 3 for lack of awareness about grading and packaging, shortage of well-developed storage and processing facilities etc. Besides of theses, the ranking of economic constraints perceived by FPOs members was I for lack of sufficient finance. Whereas rank I of non-members were high cost of labour and lack of sufficient finance in observed during study. The study also revealed that the weighted mean score and ranking of marketing constraints perceived by FPOs members at farm level was yearly price fluctuation was 3 and ranked as I constraints. Whereas the non-members rank I constraints was yearly price fluctuation, exploitation by middle men, distress sell/perishable nature of products and delayed payment.

    Trends in Area, Production and Productivity of Sesame -An Inter District Analysis in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-11-11) Tripathi, Shyam Mani; Kalia, Abhishek
    Sesame is commonly known as the ‘seeds of immortality’ due to the presence of natural antioxidants such as sesamolin, sesamin, and sesamol, the seed contains 50-60 per cent oil with high stability. The crop's large root system allows it to withstand drought stress quite well, hence the area, production and productivity of sesame crop is higher in Bundelkhand region in comparison to other districts of Uttar Pradesh. The reference period of study was from 1989 to 2019 and study was carried out district wise in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Attempts have been made to examines the trends in area, production and productivity of sesame. Compound growth rate was calculated for this purpose. For calculation of extent of instability Coefficient of Variation and Cuddy Della Vella Index were calculated. Area effect, yield effect and interaction effect were calculated for the purpose of relative contribution of acreage and yield in growth of sesame production. The results revealed that the area and production of sesame in Jalaun marked significantly increasing trend with the compound growth rate of 0.17 per cent per annum and 0.20 per cent per annum respectively while in other districts of Bundelkhand it was observed stagnant and decreasing trend. Whereas productivity was in decreasing trend in all the seven districts of Bundelkhand. In case of Bundelkhand area, production and productivity of sesame marked stagnant growth with the compound growth rate of 0.07 per cent per annum, 0.09 per cent per annum and 0.02 per cent per annum respectively. The instability indicated the highest variability in area observed in Chitrakut with 125.45 CDVI value and lowest in Lalitpur with 38.53 CDVI value, highest variability in production was observed in Chitrakut with 181.7 CDVI value and lowest in Jalaun with 74.90 CDVI value, highest variability in productivity was observed in Jalaun with 53.45 CDVI value and lowest in Hamirpur with 32.39 CDVI value. Interaction effect on area and yield in the growth of sesame production was found highest in the major sesame producing districts of Bundelkhand.

This study was performed on One hundred twenty respondents who were selected through multistage sampling technique from four villages of Maudaha block of Hamirpur district. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to draw the inferences. Respondents were categorised as marginal, small, medium, and large size of farm. Cost of cultivation found increases with the farm size,the socio - economic condition were found best in large size of farms as compare to other size of farms. Highest cost incurred in the production of mustard was found in large size in farm Rs 49053 per hectare and least in marginal farms (Rs. 39,295). Over all farm cost of cultivation of mustard crop was found Rs 45292, with highest share of cost as human labourRs 8,038.25 per hectare. On overall farms basis gross income was recorded Rs 58,496 and net income came to Rs 13202. Large farms gross income was found highest as Rs. 64268 and least was found with marginal farms i.e. Rs. 53,400 respectively. The overall benefit cost ratio over cost C1, C2, and C3 was found to be 1:2.15, 1:1.42 and 1:1.28 on all farms basis respectively. The coefficient of determination (R2) value was found to be 0.78for independent variables like phosphorus(X1), nitrogen(X2),man-days (X3),irrigation(X4), Plant Protection chemicals (X5) &seeds(X6). Phosphorous, Nitrogen, Plant protection chemicals and seeds were found significantly contributing in the yield. Man- days and irrigation are found over utilized resource and phosphorus, nitrogen, plant protection chemicals and seeds were found underutilized.
