The present research work has been carried out in Akola district, the aim of this research was to determine the energy input and output involved in cotton production. The operations considered were land preparation, sowing, intercultural, harvesting and crop residue management etc. The inputs like human power; bullock powers for traditional operation were studied in entire work of the research. The non significant relationship of this variable with output energy indicates that this variable did not affect output energy of farm. The other variables were found to be highly and positively significant with the output energy. Variables namely area under cultivation, power sources, irrigation, hoeing and input energy showed highly significant with yield and output energy and contributed 82 per cent variation in production and 92 per cent contribution in variation with output energy.

Abstract


The present research work has been carried out in Akola district, the aim of this research was to determine the energy input and output involved in cotton production. The operations considered were land preparation, sowing, intercultural, harvesting and crop residue management etc. The inputs like human power; bullock powers for traditional operation were studied in entire work of the research. The non significant relationship of this variable with output energy indicates that this variable did not affect output energy of farm. The other variables were found to be highly and positively significant with the output energy. Variables namely area under cultivation, power sources, irrigation, hoeing and input energy showed highly significant with yield and output energy and contributed 82 per cent variation in production and 92 per cent contribution in variation with output energy.
