| dc.description.abstract | The study on economic evaluation of organic farming systems was carried out in northern Karnataka. It was based on primary data collected from the 285 sample respondents in Bagalkot, Bijpur and Gadag districts of karantaka for the year 2010-11. The sample respondents practiced as many as 16 different organic farming systems, which included field crops, vegetables, plantations, dairy and goat rearing activities. The top three farming systems in each of the districts based on highest per cent of farmers practicing organic farming systems were considered for economic analysis. Among inputs utilization pattern in the study area Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and vermicompost together accounted for more than 70 per cent of value per hectare among different organic farming systems of study area. The dairy was the most common non-crop component included in all most all the farming systems and it was found profitable. Goat rearing activities were included in Bijapur district under Farming System-II were major inputs are concentrates and farm produced green fodder and dry fodder. The MVP: MFC ratio indicated that the profitability from most of the farming systems can be increased by reorganization of the resources. The Cost and returns analysis of major organic farming system revealed that, net returns realized by the farmers was found to be maximum in FS-III in Gadag (Rs.97,437), organic FS-II in Bijapur district (Rs. 43,990) and FS-III in Bagalkot (Rs.40,760) district were found to be most profitable compared to other farming system in the study area. Lack of market information, Infrastructure support, lack of compost knowledge of compost making using modern techniques and price fluctuation were the major constraints in adoption of organic farming systems | en_US |
