The present study was carried out to analyze economics of castor production and marketing with the objectives of estimating the cost of cultivation of castor and to identify problems faced by farmers in castor production and marketing, The present study was undertaken in Rajkot district using two stage sampling technique. Primary data were collected from 100 farmers. Two talukas from Rajkot district were selected randomly viz., Dhoraji and Upleta. 50 farmers were selected randomly from two talukas selected. The statistical tools adopted for the analysis of data were net farm income method and garrett’s ranking technique.It can be concluded that in the study area, the farmers between 36 to 50 years have adopted agriculture as their profession, all farmers were married. It was found that majority of farmers lived in nuclear family. The majority of the farmers have upto 5 members in their family thus, belong to small size family, education was upto higher secondary level, annual income between Rs. 1 lakh to 2 lakh and majority of the farmers were small farmers (own land upto 2 ha). It was observed that castor production is profitable. It was observed that the major problems faced byfarmers in castor production and marketing were the insufficient/ delayed rainfall and high transport cost.Keywords

The present study evolution of mechanization index and used pattern for mini tractor and its equipments in Junagadh district during the year 2018. The study was revealed that 90 per cent farmers were use M.B. plough while 10 per cent farmers not use M.B. plough. Whole 100 per cent farmers were using rotavetor, cultivator, intercultural operation and transport. No farmers were use thresher and irrigation system by tractor. It was found that most of farmer use rotavator and M.B. plough in hire basis for intercultural operation, transport and cultivator operation farmers use own implements. It was found that M.B. plough and rotavator hiring rates is higher than the other operations i.e. cultivator, intercultural operation and transport. It was found that M.B. plough, cultivator and rotavator highest observed in 21 to 40 hours annual use. For intercultural operation and transport highest observed 41 to 60 hours use category. In Junagadh district no farmers use irrigation pump and thresher by using mini tractor. It was found that irrigation mechanization index is the highest mechanization index in district it found 88.33 per cent. Intercultural mechanization index is the second highest mechanization of district as it found 74.64 per cent, followed by sowing and spraying mechanization index. According to the study lowest mechanization index was found of fertilizer application and threshing operations.Keywords

The study on economic analysis of cumin seeds in Junagadh district was undertaken to measure the objectives of examining the socio-economic characteristics of cumin growers, cost and return of cumin production, growth performance and acreage response of cumin crop, satisfaction level of farmers and dealers and constraint face by farmers and dealers regarding GASCO seeds. The study was carried out in four taluka of Junagadh district. Multistage sampling technique was used. Total 20 dealers of GASCO and 100 farmers using cumin seed of GASCO were selected for the study. Net farm income model was used for cost and return of cumin production. The semi-log equation and Nerlovian lagged model was used to estimate growth performance and acreage response of cumin crop. The result revealed that total cost of cultivation for cumin per hectare was 11.19 per cent. Per hectare cost of cultivation of cumin was worked out to Rs.37554.42. The result of compound growth rate revealed that area, production and yield of cumin was increasing continuously from 1997-98 to 2017-18. In case of acreage response of cotton crop, the lagged area and lagged yield risk played significant role in area of cumin. The rainfall was negatively significant. Thus, means due to high rainfall decreased cumin area by sowing other Rabi crops.Keywords

Seed is the most important input component for productive agriculture. In the significant advances that India made in agriculture in the last four decades, the role of the seed sector has been substantial. The expansion of seed industry has occurred in parallel with growth in agricultural productivity. The organized seed industry of the country is just forty years old. Yet, its growth has been phenomenal. India is one of the few countries where the seed sector is already reasonably advanced. The private seed industry is no more confined to just production and marketing of seed. It has as well acquired technological strength to cater to the varietal needs of tomorrow. Cumin is grown as a Rabi crop in India and it is also grown well in sub-tropical climate, best suited for sandy soil. It requires less water and more cold for its better growth with ideal temperature of 25o to 30o C. Cumin crop is highly sensitive to rain, if rain occurs during harvesting time quality of the cumin will be badly affects besides quantity damage due to fungal diseases and cigarette beetle. It will turn black and will fetch the lowest price in the market. The present study is undertaken to the analysis of farmers’ buying behaviour and promotional activities for cumin seed in Junagadh district, production constraints faced by farmers and finding effectiveness of promotional activities. Two tehsils were selected from purposively selected Junagadh district for the selection of respondents. From both the tehsil 100 farmers were selected randomly as per the availability.Keywords
