ThesisItem Open Access EXPORT PERFORMANCE OF SESAME IN INDIA(BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA, 2023-07-27) MAHESH KUMAR; Yash GautamThesisItem Open Access DYNAMICS IN AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF GRAM IN BUNDELKHAND REGION (U.P.)(BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA-210 001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2023-08-01) ANKIT KUMAR MAURYA; Rahul Kumar RaiThe research study entitled “Dynamics in Area, Production, and Productivity of Gram in Bundelkhand Region (U.P.)” had aimed to study growth rate, instability, and decomposition analysis of gram as well as forecast the production of gram for the Bundelkhand region and also identify the gap between FHPs & MSPs of gram. During the last 20 years (2001-2021), the growth rate of area and production of gram were negative in all districts and also it was negative for Bundelkhand region. But in term of productivity, it has indicated a positive impact in almost all districts and for this region. During the study period, Gram was found as the highest instability in Jhansi (29.01), Mahoba (59.87), and Mahoba (43.97) while the least variability was recorded for the Banda (4.46), Hamirpur (38.65), and Lalitpur (26.13) in term of area, production, and productivity, respectively. By the decomposition analysis, it has been anticipated that area was one of the important factors in the overall development of gram production with a convincing and parallel to productivity contribution. The gap between FHP and MSP resulted that in most cases FHP is higher than MSP because higher demand than supplies does not allow the market prices to fall below MSP. In recent years, market prices ruled higher than MSP. For forecasting, specifically, the ARIMA time series model was utilized. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) made forecasting of gram production in Bundelkhand region by using 21 yearly observations. This model went through a battery of diagnostic and investigative tests so as to explore and examine the efficacy of the model. The model ARIMA (1, 0, 0) had the lowest normalized value, so this model was chosen. A ten-year ahead production of gram has been predicted. According to observations, they indicate a declining trend in gram production. The present study showed negative growth in area, production and productivity of gram in the Bundelkhand region noticed because of shift in area from these crops to other competitive crops. Thus, there is a need to give more emphasis on concerted research efforts, technological aspects as well as policy aspects (extension services and more remunerative prices) and also suggest appropriate remedial measures for correcting this undesired trend so that increase in area, production, and productivity of gram.ThesisItem Open Access ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF SORGHUM IN BUNDELKHAND REGION OF, UTTAR PRADESH(BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA-210001 UTTAR PRADESH,, 2023-08-18) PRAGYA; Abhishek kaliaThesisItem Open Access Economic Analysis of Producer’s Surplus of Rice in Banda District, Uttar Pradesh(BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2023-07-18) Prachi Singh; Rahul Kumar RaiThe present study, "Economic Analysis of Producer's Surplus of Rice in Banda district, Uttar Pradesh," was to examine the socio-economic condition, marketable and marketed surplus, marketing channels, and the constraints in marketing of rice. A random sampling method was employed to choose the respondents. Using personal interviews, a sample of 160 farmers and 15 intermediaries were selected from eight villages in Baberu and Naraini block. The study's findings showed that there were more marginal farmers (46.87 per cent) and small farmers (28.75 per cent) than medium farmers (15.62 per cent) and large farmers (8.75 per cent) in the study area. Most farmers have families with 3-5 members on average, whereas medium and large farmers have families with 6-10 members. Most marginal and small farmers earn an average of Rs. 50,000 annually, while medium farmers can earn up to Rs. 15,0000 and large farmers can earn more than Rs. 25,0000 annually. According to the research, only 80.6 per cent of farmers were dependent on agriculture, while 13.75 per cent of farmers were dependent on both agriculture and dairy. Tube wells account for 72.5 per cent of the irrigation in the research region, followed by canals and tube wells, which were used by 21.25 per cent of the farmers. The research revealed that the average production for marginal, small, medium, and large farmers were 14.97, 38.72, 138.72 and 246.71 quintals. The average marketable and marketed surplus was found to be 93.64 and 89.52 quintals. The marketable surplus was lower than the marketed surplus in marginal category of farmers due to distress or forced sale. The farmers in the study region used three channels to sell their rice. With a marketing efficiency of (27.26), channel-III was the most effective marketing channel, followed by channel-II (3.72) and channel-I (2.09). Due to a wider pricing spread and more middlemen, channel-I marketing effectiveness was extremely low. The study found that the main constraints faced by the farmers in the study area were markets at a distant places and higher transportation costs.ThesisItem Open Access An Economic Analysis of Wheat Cultivation of Banda District in Bundelkhand Region (Uttar Pradesh)(Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda 210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-07-27) Dharmendra Kumar; Rai, Rahul KumarThesisItem Open Access Comparative Analysis of Trend in Area, Production and Productivity of Lentil in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh(Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-22) Singh, Anand Pratap; Rai, Rahul KumarLentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is one of the very first crops that were domesticated and produced in the history of mankind and as of now, the importance of this crop remained static among the vegetarian population of the world. It stood in the second place among rabi pulses after chickpea in India, which is generally grown on residual moisture under a rainfed ecology. Bundelkhand region of U.P. and M.P. are considered lentil bowl which contributes nearly 25 percent to the total lentil production in the country. The mentioned period of study was from 1991 to 2021 and the study was carried out district-wise in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. There have been studies to examine the trends in lentil area, production and productivity. The compound growth rate was calculated for this purpose. For calculation of the degree of instability, the Coefficient of variation was calculated whereas the Area effect, yield effect and interaction effect were calculated for the relative contribution of acreage and yield in the growth of lentil production. The results discovered that growth in the area, production, and productivity of the Lentil crop in the Bundelkhand region registered negative growth and was found statistically insignificant. In instability analysis, variability in an area was estimated highest in Lalitpur (44.82) whereas the lowest variability was observed in the Banda district with 19.96 percent. In Production variability, Chitrakoot was highest with 56.66 percent and lowest in Banda with 36.50 percent; the highest variability in productivity was observed in Mahoba with 50.77 percent and lowest in Jalaun with 29.52. By the decomposition analysis, it was anticipated that area was one of the important factors in the overall development of lentil production with a convincing and parallel yield contribution.ThesisItem Open Access COMPARATIVE ECONOMICS OF PIGEON PEA CULTIVATION IN BUNDELKHAND REGION OF U.P. AND UTTAR PRADESH(Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-26) Kumar, Vikas; Gautam, YashPigeonpea also known as Arhar, tur, and red gram is one of the important pulse crops grown in different parts of India. It belongs to family leguminosae, originated in India. This is the second largest pulse crop next only to chickpea crop. It is a multipurpose drought-tolerant crop that produces seeds for human consumption as a low-cost protein source. Plant’s green leaves and tops make excellent fodder and can also be used as green manure. The study was an attempt to examine the pattern of growth, instability and the cost and return of production of pigeon pea at state and district level. The time series data for the period 1980-81 to 2019-20 was collected from various published sources which was further divided into four sub periods. CAGR, coefficient of variation, cost and returns were calculated for estimating, growth rate and instability in area, production and productivity in pigeon pea cultivation. The results revealed that the area, production and productivity was declining with a compound growth rate of -1.89, -3.041 and -1.174 per cent per annum during the overall period of study of Uttar Pradesh and in case of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh area, production and productivity was declining with a compound growth rate of -0.6, -2.81 and -1.95 per cent per annum respectively. The instability analysis indicated the highest variability in area in Uttar Pradesh with 22.5 per cent CV value and 22 per cent for Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The highest variability in production was observed in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh with 42.58 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 37 per cent CV value. CV in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh was 31 per cent and 19.7 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. The total cost of cultivation per hectare was revealed to be Rs. 47331.47.

They occupy an important position next to groundnut both in area and production. Rajasthan is the leading rapeseed mustard producing state in India while Uttar Pradesh ranked at second place. Mustard is a major Rabi oilseed crop of India. Mustard seeds are known by different names in different places sarson, rai or raya, toria or lahi. Rapeseed has greater potential to increase the availability of edible oil from domestic production despite the high quality of oilseed and its adaptability for various agro-climatic conditions. The study was an attempt to examine the pattern of growth, instability, cost and return of production of mustard crops at state and district level. The time series data for the period 1981-1982 to 2019-2020 was collected from various published sources which were further divided in to three sub periods. CAGR, coefficient of variation, cost and returns were calculated for estimating, growth rate and instability in area, production and productivity in mustard crop. The results revealed that the area, production and productivity was increasing by 0.73, 2.49 and 1.75 per cent per annum during the overall period of Uttar Pradesh and in case of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh area, production and productivity was increasing with a compound growth rate of 2.94, 4.36 and 1.38 per cent per annum respectively. The instability analysis indicated the highest variability in area of Bundelkhand with 47.3 per cent CV value and 17.3 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. The highest variability in production was observed in Bundelkhand region with 78 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 33.6 per cent CV value.

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.
