DETERMINATION OF RESOURCE PRODUCTIVITY AND RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY IN SUGARCANE (PLANTED AND RATOON) PRODUCTION IN MEERUT DISTRICT OF UTTAR PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
This study was carried out in Daurala and Hastinapur block of district Meerut during 2009-11. The study was based on 80 farmers (33 small +27 medium +20 large) which were selected randomly from sugarcane (planted and ratoon) cropping system in both blocks. The regression coefficient of human labour, micro nutrients, irrigation and seed, TMH, Human labour, irrigation was found statistically positive for planted sugarcane on small and large farmers respectively while in ratoon sugarcane human labour, manure and fertilizer (small farm), micro nutrient (medium farm) and human labour, manure and fertilizer and micro nutrient (large farm) was found statistically positive. However, R2 values were found 0.503, 0.162 and 0.092 on small, medium and large farms respectively for planted sugarcane while for ratoon sugarcane R2 values were found to be 0.271, 0.147 and 0.279 on small, medium and large farms respectively. The MVPs of human labour was highest on large farms and MVPs of irrigation was observed to be diminishing with the increase in the size of farms indicating that more of irrigation is being used per unit of land as the size of farms increase.
