District-Wide Comparative Study of the Resource Use Efficiency of Fenugreek Crop
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Two districts Sikar (Shri-Madhopur Mandi) and Jaipur (Chomu Mandi) were selected to study district-wide comparison of the resource, use efficiency of fenugreek crop; as being Rajasthan state is a major producer of the fenugreek. A sample of 150 farmers was selected on the basis of systematic sampling from the cumulative total 615 (261 in Sikar and 354 in Jaipur). The regression coefficient (linear and non-linear), auto-correlation, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, returns to scale were applied on collecting data by a Cobb-Douglas production function to work out the resource use efficiencies in fenugreek crop. Machine Labor had a significantly positive effect on the gross return of small, semi-medium, medium and large group of Jaipur farms and Sikar farms. Manure significantly and positively influenced the gross return of marginal forms of Jaipur and Sikar farms. Fertilizer positively and significantly influenced the gross return on small, semi-medium, medium and large categories of Jaipur and on small and medium categories of Sikar farms. Plant protection positively significantly on semi-medium farm of Sikar influenced the gross return. Irrigation positively and significantly influenced the gross return of semi-medium, medium and overall category of Jaipur farms and small, semi-medium, medium and large category of Sikar farmers. Human labor significantly and positively influenced the gross return of small or overall group of farms of Jaipur and Sikar farms.
