| dc.description.abstract | The study was undertaken in Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka to estimate the economics of aerobic and conventional paddy cultivation along with Resource Use Efficiency (RUE) and externality. Primary data was collected from 50 farmers each practicing aerobic and conventional paddy cultivation. The cultivation of paddy under aerobic method was profitable as it generates higher net returns (` 24,653/ha) compared to conventional paddy cultivation (` 11,046/ha). Aerobic paddy cultivation was sustainable compared to conventional method as it saved 63 per cent of scarce irrigation water. The cost of irrigation was reduced to the extent of 60 per cent in aerobic paddy cultivation compared to conventional paddy cultivation. RUE indicated that, resources were not optimally utilized in both aerobic and conventional paddy cultivation. Bullock labour, machine labour, seeds and irrigation were underutilized in aerobic paddy cultivation whereas, FYM was underutilized in conventional paddy cultivation indicating that usage of additional amount of these inputs leads to increase in the returns. Aerobic paddy cultivating farms were more technically and economically efficient compared to conventional paddy cultivating farms. In addition, aerobic paddy cultivation resulted in positive externality to the tune of ` 7714 per hectare over conventional paddy cultivation. Infestation of weeds, uneven crop stand resulting in reduced yield and water management were the major constraints in aerobic paddy cultivation. Focus should be given to shift the area towards aerobic paddy cultivation instead of paddy under tube well irrigation where irrigation water is becoming very scarce. | en_US |
