Disparities in Agricultural Productivity in Ambedkarnagar District
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Agricultural productivity is defined as the measurement of production and inputs required for that output. The concept of productivity has been used extensively to explain the spatial organization of agriculture. Agricultural productivity is the result of various physio-cultural aspects. This research paper aims at examining variation in crop productivity and relative changes that have occurred in agricultural productivity in 2011 and identifying the deficient villages and formulating a policy to increase their productivity in study area. Present study is based on primary and secondary data. For calculating agricultural productivity Kendall’s Method has been applied in this study. Agricultural productivity increased in the study region because of availability of good irrigation facilities, use of adequate amount of fertilizers and high yielding variety of seeds.
