POSSESSION OF CAPITAL ASSETS AT THE FARM LEVEL AND MAIZE PRODUCTIVITY: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN DAVANGERE DISTRICT, KARNATAKA
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Impact of possession of selected capital assets on the productivity of maize crop in Davangere district of Karnataka state has been assessed by using the primary data collected form the 144 randomly selected farmers. Maize yield was observed to more among the farmers who own the capital assets compared to the farmers who did not have these assets for all the selected assets except the sprayer and thresher. Possession of assets like bullock labour and tractor has reduced the share explicit cost in the total variable cost whereas it has increased the share of implicit cost. Possession of capital assets facilitated the timely operation of agronomic practices which enabled them to earn more gross as well as net income from maize per unit of land.
