Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract:There is a compelling need to increase rice productivity in India due to less availability and low productivity of land. The system of Rice Intensification (SRI) has been proved to be successful method of rice cultivation in many areas around the globe. In this backdrop there is an urgent need to explore the possibilities of adopting new innovative production technique like SRI in the dry zones where the yield is low. Here an attempt has been made to understand the justification of the SRI cultivation in terms of productivity and profitabality in the dry zone like Nayagram block in West Bengal in India. The results suggest that in terms of both cost savings and productivity gain, SRI performs better compared to conventional methods of cultivation. The probability of adoption of SRI by farmer households increases with the adult family members, livestock, membership of farmers’ organization and access to irrigation.
