| dc.description.abstract | Bengalgram plays an important role in Indian diet, as it contains protein and supplement to cereal based diet. Bengalgram is gaining economic importance due to increase in area (4.18 lakhs hectares) and production (2.31 lakh tonnes) in Karnataka. North Eastern Dry Zone accounts 43 per cent of production in the state. The present study was carried out to examine the production potentiality of bengalgram in North Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka. The data was collected by employing purposive random sampling technique with a total sample of 60. The findings revealed that Karnataka state as well as North Eastern Dry Zone showed a significant growth in area with 7.86 and 5.90 per cent, production with 8.59 and 7.65 per cent and productivity with 1.75 and 2.47 per cent respectively, during 1999-2000 to 2018-2019 period. The total cost, gross returns, net returns and return per rupee of expenditure were Rs. 17,088/ ac, Rs. 21,620 /ac, Rs. 4,532/ac. and 1.27 respectively. Farmers were not efficient in resources allocation as machine labour, fertilizer, farm yard manure and micronutrients were underutilized. Yield gap-II (1.58 q/ac) was higher than yield gap-I (0.32 q/ac) in JG -11 variety and yield gap-II (0.60 q/ac) was greater than yield gap-I (0.51 q/ac) in Annigeri-1 variety. The high cost of labourduring peak season was a major constraint faced by bengalgram growers. The findingssuggest that good extension strategies in transferring technologies, mechanization and timely execution of farm operations will help in better realization of income by the farmer. | en_US |
