| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation was intended to depict the picture of behaviour of pomegranate growers towards drip irrigation systems in Nashik district The study was conducted with a view to know the socio economic characteristics of pomegranate growers and their behaviour pattern in use of drip irrigation systems, estimate their economics, to find out the relationship between terms of purchase and size land holdings, to identify source of information and motives behind adoption of drip units, to study the management constraints faced by pomegranate growers in adoption of drip units and suggest remedials. In all 90 pomegranate growers who had installed drip irrigation systems for pomegranate were selected from 10 villages for the study The data were collected with the help of well designed and pretested interview schedule The collected data were processed through primary and secondary tables and were statistically analysed The statistical test like the cm-square was used to test the hypotheses and study the association between paired set of attributes mathematically. Benefit Cost ratio was also worked out to study the economics of pomegranate cultivation with various dnp irrigation units. The data were related to agriculture year 1999-2000 The findings of study revealed that age, education social participation and annual income had highly significant association with adoption of drip irrigation systems While type of family and size of family veve found to be insignificant m adoption of drip irrigation systems It was also observed that the majority of respondents used Jam brand of drip irrigation system (45 55 per cent), followed by EPC (20.00 per cent), Pragati (14 44 per cent, Plastro and Netafem drip shared equally (10 00 per cent). This was because of more facilities provided by Jain company compared to other companies in the market The pomegranate growers also preferred for dripper type irrigation system instead of micro-tube type irrigation system because of easy handling and easy cleaning while clogging takes place This shows the management outlook of pomegranate growers in selection of drip system and type of drip set At the overall level, the per hectare total cultivation cost of pomegranate with drip irrigation was Rs. 137695, while the gross return was Rs 2,23307 The net profit realised was Rs 85612 The highest net profit realised (Rs 87634) was in case of Jain type of irrigation system and lowest was (Rs. 79963) in Ptestro drip irrigation system The overall Benefit Cost was 1 62, while it was highest (1 66) in Jam irrigation system and lowest (1.57) in EPC irrigation system Among the size groups of land holdings, the Benefit-Cost ratio was highest in small size group (1 65) and lowest in large size group (1.55) It shows that intensive cultivation of pomegranate helped to obtained more returns The pomegranate growers from the medium and large groups of holdings preferred to purchase drip irrigation units on cash, while growers from small size groups of holdings preferred to purchase the same on credit. | en_US |
