In this paper an attempt was made to analyze economics of paddy cultivation in Cuddalore district. Based on area under paddy, three blocks namely Kurinjipadi, Kumaratchi and Vridhachalam were selected. The total sample size was 120 paddy growers. The study revealed that area and production of paddy crop was declining during the period 1998-2008 while the productivity was growing positively during the same period. During 2009-2019, compound growth rate of area, production and productivity of paddy was depicting an increasing trend due to the role-played by high yielding varieties which created greater affinity towards paddy crop. The cost of production of paddy per hectare was estimated to be Rs. 56,617. The average gross income was found to be Rs. 92,077 per hectare and net income was observed to be Rs. 29,712 per hectare. Excessive usage of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers could be reduced to decrease the production cost and increase the efficiency of inputs. Adoption of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method was suggested to increase the productivity of paddy.

Pulses processing is a very huge business in India. In India, split of pulses are prepared called as “Dal” or “Dhal”. Regdram cultivating farmers are demotivated as there net returns are low due to continuous market fluctuation in prices of Redgram and this is becoming the reason for decrease in area of cultivation under Redgram. Milling pulses improves bio-availability of nutrients and Partial or complete removal of antinutritional and toxic compounds making it nutritive for human consumption. Mini dal mill is low investment enterprise to improve the net income of farmers. The present study concluded that the average gross income through sale of Redgram is Rs 41.3/KG without processing and Rs 63/KG with processing. The profitability is more with the processing of Redgram. The cost benefit ratio is 1:1.18 without processing and 1:1.80 with processing. Hence farmers must be educated to develop entrepreneurship and promote value added Redgram using mini dal mill.

System of rice intensification (SRI) has been gaining momentum over the years in Tripura, one of the eastern states of India. To meet the growing rice demand, a rapid increase in paddy production is needed. Considering the growing importance of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in the state, the need for such a study was felt and accordingly the present study was conducted in Sepahijala district of Tripura on the basis of highest area coverage under SRI among all districts of the State. SRI offers an interesting alternative to improve rice productivity. The present study was carried out to examine the comparative economics of SRI and conventional methods of rice cultivation in Tripura, India during the year 2016-17. For the study 120 sample farmers were selected by using multistage random sampling. The cost concepts were used are Cost A, Cost B and Cost C. This paper has compared the economics of SRI and the conventional methods of rice cultivation. It has shown that gross return and net return were much higher for SRI (Rs. 129000.50), (Rs. 67050.50) than conventional (Rs. 78444.00), (Rs. 27168.00), respectively. Similarly, the return over cost was higher for SRI (2.08) than conventional (1.52) methods. The present study concludes that SRI has a tremendous potential to increase the production of rice. Moreover, adoption of this technique by the farmers would give them higher yields which in turn will help them to earn more and improve their socio-economic situation. It has proved to serve as an alternative method for rice cultivation.

Increasing rice productivity has been the main priority for the Government of Indonesia to meet people's food needs, however, there are a number of obstacles such as technology adoption. This study aims to explore the condition of farmers' cultivation, especially in terms of planting systems, varieties developed and reasons for selecting varieties in three different land topographic types (low, medium, and high). Sampling was done purposely with a total sample of 45 farmers who cultivate rice. Data collection includes observation and structured interview, data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that most of the planting system that developed in three types of topography is the ‘tegel’ planting system, other technologies such as “jajar legowo” and system of rice intensification (SRI) have low developed. This is influenced by the new planting system need more skilled labor, more expensive input, and lack of farmers' knowledge. Local rice varieties have declined significantly, dominated by certain superior varieties. The main reason for selecting varieties is due to high productivity and disease resistance. In addition, the accessibility of rice seeds by farmers at the nearest farm shop. This research suggested more intensive mentoring efforts should be done through farmers’ group meetings and improvement of supporting facilities, furthermore the Local Government should improve farmers' affordability of quality seeds.

The study was conducted in Chhattisgarh to compare the cost and return of rice in adopters and non-adopters and identify constraints in adopting the SRI technology. The total labour cost was highest in adopters than non-adopters, and input cost was ( 8723.42) in adopters and was less than non-adopters ( 9772.75). It was also found that the cost of adopters' cultivation was ( 49885.17) higher than non-adopters ( 41241.82). The result showed that the yield of adopters (67.34 q/ha) was higher than the non-adopters (49.66 t/ha). The gross and net incomes were higher on adopters' farms than non-adopters. The benefit-cost ratio was higher in adopters (1:2.03) than non-adopters (1:1.82). Timely availability of skilled labour (62 percent) with higher than more labour requirement (50 percent), unavailability of implements (48 percent), lack of training (46 percent), drudgery in using cono-weeder (40 percent), unskilled transplanting (34 percent) and improper nursery management (30 percent) the other constraints were assured irrigation, lack of farm mechanization high cost of pesticides, high cost of manures and fertilizers. The primary suggestion regarding the SRI method of paddy cultivation was to develop chemical and mechanical weed control and ensure the availability of cono-weeder and marker in the market. Timely guidance should be given by the concerned persons in the transfer of technology to the farmers' field of immense help in this direction.

Paddy Cultivation

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) developed in Madagascar in 1980s is a revolutionary new idea for paddycultivation to increase yields with reduced external resources. Basic idea of SRI originally proposed (Basic SRI) is to applycombination of (a) transplanting of young seedlings with wider spacing and (b) intermittent irrigation during vegetativegrowth period Further, application of organic fertilizers without use chemicals has practiced as "Organic SRI" as an idealapproach to improve soil and to produce high quality rice. Over the past fIVe years, a Japan-funded irrigation project inEastern Indonesia executing by the Directorate General of Water Resources, the Ministry of Public Works has introduced SRIand assessed it's potential to reduce demandfor irrigation water while rewardingfarmers with higher production and incomes.This paper reports on on-farm comparative evaluations conducted over 9 seasons between 2002 and 2006 across 8 provincesunder DISIMP. It summarizes the results of 12,133 comparison trials that covered a total area of 9,429 hectares. Averageyield increase was 78% (3.3 tlha) with reductions of 40% in water use, 50% in fertilizer applications, and 20% in the costs ofproduction. As a conclusion, SRI practices can achieve significantly higher output of rice with a reduction in inputs, enhancingsimultaneously the productivity of the resources (land, labor, water and capital) used in irrigated rice production. Theeconomic attractiveness of SRI methods is very great, giving farmers strong incentive to accept water-saving as new norm forirrigated rice production.

On Farm

Paddy is major predominant crop during Kharif in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh, cultivated in an area of 112353 ha, out of total cropped area of 117608 ha with productivity of 2524 kg/ ha. Farmers grow crop by adopting traditional method of paddy cultivation, use more seed rate, close spacing, late transplanting with over aged seedlings common phenomenon due to erotic rainfall climate change. Scarcity of labour and escalation in labour wages, reduction in labour efficiency are leading to low net returns. In this context DAATT Centre, Vizianagaram district of ANGRAU, in collaboration with Department of Agriculture, Vizianagaram has introduced “Mechanized System Rice Intensification (MSRI). Mechanized system rice intensification (MSRI) is boon to farmers to save money and time. DAATT Centre, Vizianagaram has organized on farm trials (OFTs) in farmer fields in two seasons Kharif, 2015 and Kharif, 2016. MSRI technology in paddy recorded 20.76 per cent yield over normal transplanting method of paddy cultivation during both Kharif seasons. The results from the study showed that the farmers realized the Rs.15038 additional net income due to increased grain yield by 20.76 per cent with reduction of cost of cultivation by Rs.1150, it could be attributed to reduction in manual labour of 3 man labour and 21 women labour per ha and also increase in yield attributes and yield.
