Abstract
The study on “Acreage response and resource use efficiency of coriander in Junagadh
district” was undertaken to measure the objectives viz., analysis of growth performance and
acreage response of coriander crop, examine the resource use efficiency, economic viability
of coriander crop and adoption level. The study was carried out in two talukas of Junagadh
district. Multistage sampling technique was used. A total of 120 coriander farmers were
selected for the study. Exponential function, Nerlovian adjustment lagged model, Cobb Douglas production function, cost concept and adoption index were used for the study. It
was concluded that growth rate of coriander crop in period I was highest. The lagged area,
yield risk and rainfall were non-significant. The regression co-efficient for coriander price
risk, lagged yield and yield risk were positive and statistically significant at 5 per cent in this
district. For resource use efficiency, cost of plant protection and cost of irrigation resource
were found negative. MVP: MFC ratiowas less than unity for land holding, human labour,
cost of seed and cost of fertilizer indicated that these resources were under-utilized and area
under cultivation and land holding were over utilized. Coriander growers of Junagadh
district get a good return from a cultivation. It was also concluded that farmers had medium
level of adoption with respect to improved cultivation practices of coriander.
