A COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF HYBRID AND IMPROVED VARIETIES OF RICE CULTIVATION IN MANIPUR, INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 37
Abstract
The results of the regression analysis revealed that the farmers were in the second stage of production, which is, diminishing returns to scale in case of both the two types of cultivation. The efficiency computation indicated that fertilizers (1.14), plant protection chemical (16.53) and machine labour (2.51) were being underutilized in hybrid rice type of cultivation, whereas in case of improved varieties of rice cultivation MVP-MFC ratio indicated that fertilizer (3.32) and machine labour (3.03) were being underutilized. But in both the two farms, there was excessive use of human labour. This indicated that suitable alteration is essential for ideal distribution of inputs and to exploit the returns from both the two type of cultivation. The average technical efficiency was slightly high in improved varieties of rice cultivation (96.73%) than in hybrid rice cultivation (95.05%).
