| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in Shikaripur taluk of Shimoga district, Karnataka, to assess the decision making pattern in farm and non-farm activities by the farmers. Expost-facto research design was employed to elicit the data from 150 farmers selected through proportionate random sampling method. The major findings were : Majority of the farmers consulted found to be taking self decision rather than consultative decision or decision by other members of the family in most of the farm and non-farm decision making activities. Self decision was found to be comparatively higher in case of marketing of crop produce (54.67%) in farm decision making activities and purchasing activity (62.00%) in non-farm decision making activities. Consultative decision was found to be comparatively higher in case of plant protection chemicals and their use (49.33%) and marriage and related issues (54.67%) with regard to farm and non-farm decision making activities, respectively. Wife was found to be consulted least in decision making with regard to both farm and non-farm activities when compared to other members of the family. Majority (80.67%) of the respondents were found to be playing major role in decision making regarding non-farm activities in case of financial management and regarding farm decision making activities in case of choice of crop and varieties (85.33%). Decision making pattern in farm activities has shown a significant relationship with age and family type than other socio-economic and personal characteristics of respondents considered for the study. While, in case of non-farm activities, it has shown a non-significant relationship with age, family type and family size. Labour availability and cost (54.00%), comparative advantage (41.33%) and crop requirement (36.00%) were the major factors considered by the respondents, while economic status of the family (55.33%) was the major factor considered by the respondents in decision making regarding farm and non-farm activities, respectively. | en_US |
