| dc.description.abstract | "The study was conducted in three dry zones of Northern Karnataka with an overall objective of identifying and analyzing the optimality and sustainability of different animal based farming systems. The relevant data was collected from both primary (2001-02) and secondary sources (1990-91 to 2001-02) and were analyzed using tabular, functional and linear programming techniques. The results show that there was a decline in the area under non-agricultural uses, cultivable waste, current fallow and other fallow land, in the case of Zone-I and in the area under non-agricultural uses, cultivable waste and net area sown in Zone-ll, there was a positive growth in barren and uncultivable land, current fallow and other fallow lands Zone-Ill. The share of area under cereals increased in the case of Zone-ll and Zone-Ill, while it showed declining trend in Zone-I. Sugarcane during kharif and bengalgram during rabi were found to be most profitable crops in Zone-I, while in Zone-ll, chilli {kharif) and bengalgram {rabi) were most remunerative. Similarly onion [kharif) and maize {rabi) turned out to be most profitable crops in Zone-Ill. Across the selected zones, milk production increased with the farm size and ranged from 4.5-5.0 litre/day/animal. In milk production, green fodder, concentrates and labour were significantly contributing factors in all the three zones, while dry fodder coefficient was significant in Zone-I and Zone-Ill. Seed coefficient was highly significant for ail the crops and systems in Zone-I and Zone-Ill barring groundnut, while labour was the important input conditioning the crop production in Zone-ll. Sustainability Value Index was higher in all the categories of farms in all the zones of Farming System-I (FS-I) compared to Farming System-ll (FS-II). In Zone-I, there was marginal decline in the net returns from farming in Model-ll compared to existing plan (Rs.66,121). However, there was slight increase in net income in Model-1 (Rs.96,321). As a result, per cent change in net returns over existing plan was marginal in Model-I (44.93%) and Model-ll (42.34%). Across all the farm size categories, the net income was the highest in FS-1 compared to FS-ll, since FS-1 contains dairy activity. In Zone-ll, the net returns were the highest in FS-I (Rs. 10055) compared to FS-II (Rs.8218) on small farms. Similarly, on medium farms, it was Rs.28129 and Rs.20704 in FS-1 and FS-ll respectively. Contrarily, the trend was reverse for large farms. In Zone-Ill, the net fami income realized on small fanns in FS-I was nearly twice (Rs.12,850) that of FS-ll (Rs.5,662). While such a difference of income was marginal on medium fanns. Again income realized on large farms in FS-1 was more (Rs.85,154) as compared to Rs.64,617 in FS-ll." | en_US |
