YIELD GAP AND CONSTRAINTS ANALYSIS IN WHEAT PRODUCTION IN HUMID SOUTH EASTERN PART OF RAJASTHAN
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
The south-eastern part of Rajasthan is considered as potential region for wheat production. However, farmers are facing numerous problems in realising the full production potentialities of wheat. Realising the fact a study was conducted to analyse yield gap and constraints in wheat production under field condition. The study was conducted in Bundi district of Rajasthan. To estimate the yield gap in wheat production, 70 full package frontline demonstrations were carried out at farmers field during three consecutive years from 2011-12 to 2013-14. Preferential ranking technique was used to identify the constraints. Stratified random sampling method used to identify the respondents. The selected respondents were interviewed personally using well-structured and pre-tested interview schedule. Results of the study revealed that the yield gap II was 7.55, 5.09 and 4.11 q ha-1 in respective consecutive years. The major constraints responsible for yield gap were lack of knowledge, biotic stress, high cost of inputs, Low fertility status of soils and poor extension services. There is further scope to increase productivity on the farms by managing these constraints.
