The functional analysis was carried out to know the contribution of independent variables in yield of sugarcane. From the estimated Cobb-Douglas production function (log linear production function), it was observed that, in suru sugarcane co-efficient of determination (R2) was 0.9113 indicating 91 per cent of variation and in ratoon sugarcane co-efficient of determination (R2) was 0.9344 indicating that, 93 per cent of the variation in the yield explained by identified input variables included in the function. The expenditure on manures, plant protection, potassium and nitrogen in suru sugarcane cultivation and plant protection and manures to be curtailed considering their excess utilization in ratoon sugarcane cultivation. Whereas, MVP to FC ratios was more than unity for phosphorus and nitrogen, human labour, irrigation indicated under utilization of these resources in sugarcane cultivation which underlines scope of expanding the use of these inputs.Keywords

In suru sugarcane group per hectare cost 'A' was Rs. 75,423, cost 'B' was Rs. 1,15,600 and cost 'C' was Rs. 1,43,664 while in ratoon sugarcane group per hectare cost 'A' was Rs. 48,228, cost 'B' was Rs. 71,693 and cost 'C' was Rs. 88,873, respectively. The net returns in suru sugarcane group were Rs. 1,63,286, Rs. 1,23,109 and Rs. 95,045 at cost 'A', 'B' and 'C', respectively while in ratoon sugarcane group net returns were Rs. 91,339, Rs. 67,874 and Rs. 50,694 at cost 'A', 'B' and 'C', respectively. The analysis of per hectare profitability of suru sugarcane and ratoon sugarcane crop indicated that cultivation of both type of sugarcane were profitable at all the levels of cost, as indicated by into benefit-cost ratio of suru sugarcane 1.66 and ratoon sugarcane 1.57. In suru sugarcane group per hectare main produce was 102.45 tonne and by produce was 20.49 tonne while in ratoon sugarcane group main produce was 59.90 tonne and by produce was 11.98 tonne.Keywords

Good health and sound manpower base are needed for agricultural growth. The availability of adequate and balanced diet hold key to all economic developments through its effect on growth and efficiency of human being. In India, one-fourth of the population is unable to get enough food to satisfy its calorie needs. The main problem of undernutrition and malnutrition is particulariy severe in third world countries including India. The main reason for this problem is of course inadequate income. The poor classes who contribute about two-fifth of the population are unable even to buy enough cereals, not to speak of protective foods.- Financial Feasibility of Investment in Broiler Poultry Units in Raigad District of Maharashtra

Per farm total cost of production was found highest on large poultry farm (Rs. 5232209) followed by the medium (Rs. 2636044) and small (Rs. 1395372) poultry farms. The cost of production per kg of live weight has inverse relation with the size of broiler farms. Per farm gross returns obtained from small, medium and large groups were Rs. 1590276, Rs. 3180338 and Rs. 6579208, respectively. However at the overall level it was Rs. 3327833. Out of which 98.08 per cent from sale of broiler, 1.67 per cent from sale of manure and 0.25 per cent from sale of empty gunny bags. The per farm and per bird cost benefit ratios at overall level was 1:1.22, whereas different size groups it was 1:1.14, 1:1.21 and 1:1.26 from small, medium and large groups, respectively. The financial feasibility analysis indicated positive net present value, benefit cost ratio has greater than one and internal rate of returns more than prevailing rate of interest in all size of broiler farms. This showed that the broiler poultry farming is profitable business in Raigad district.Keywords

The Paclobutrozol (PBZ) application has induced early flowering in rainfed mango orchard due to enhanced use of critical inputs as a per canopy of mango tree. The application of manures and fertilizers viz., N.P.K. when compared with recommended levels. The analysis revealed that the input gap for manures was to the extent of 78.5 per cent in PBZ non-adopter group and 74.7 per cent in PBZ adopter group. In case of chemical fertilizer viz., N.P.K. was to the extent of 58.67 per cent, 34 per cent and 59 per cent in PBZ non-adopter group and 9.33 per cent, 14 per cent and 46 per cent in PBZ adopters group, respectively. On account of this, the per hectare productivity of rainfed mango orchard was 6.2 t/ha in PBZ adopter category and 3.9 t/ha in PBZ non-adopter category. The per hectare cost of cultivation was Rs. 122373/- and Rs. 69561/- with per tone cost of cultivation of mango was to the tune of Rs. 26037/- and Rs. 23822/ - in PBZ adopter and PBZ non-adopter category, respectively. The per hectare gross returns were Rs. 251450/- and Rs. 119720/- with benefit cost ratio of 2.05 and 1.72 in PBZ in the same order. The benefits due to PBZ, application were valued to Rs. 95230/ha with a additional cost of Rs. 27730/ha realizing net incremental benefits to the tune of Rs. 67460/ha. Better productivity and price advantage grabbed in the early start of marketing season, were the benefits to the PBZ adopter category which resulted into higher per hectare income. As a whole, the net returns were 157.33 per cent higher for PBZ adopters than to PBZ non-adopters.
