ECONOMICS OF GUAVA CULTIVATION IN DHARWAD DISTRICT OF NORTHERN KARNATAKA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 8
Abstract
An attempt has been made to estimate the trends in area, production and productivity of guava fruit in Dharwad district of Northern Karnataka. Secondary data on area, production and productivity were collected from State Department of Horticulture. Compound growth rate analysis was employed to evaluate the objective of the study. The results revealed a positive growth in area, production and productivity for guava (7.45, 8.02 and 0.99 respectively).Factors contributing to variation of guava fruit crop were studied using multiple linear regression analysis using time series data collected from State Department of Horticulture, District Statistical Office and various issues of Dharwad district at a Glance. The results revealed that the factors responsible for the changes in area under guava fruit crop over the years were price, population, rainfall, net irrigated area, fertilizer, number of factories and number of commercial banks. The results revealed that major constraints faced by guava growing farmers in production were adequate irrigation (water) facilities, rainfall, resources, non-availability of labour, irregular power supply and management. Major constraints faced by guava growing farmers in marketing were storage, high commission charges, high transportation cost, lack of availability of adequate market information, markets far away from farm, low price and mutual understanding between commission agents and traders
