Economic Analysis of Rice Cultivation System under Different Establishment Methods

摘要

Energy utilization efficiency depends on different factor of cropping systems such as physiochemical properties of soil, land preparing operation, plant protection, fertilizer application, threshing, harvesting operation and grain and straw yield. India is developing county and rice crops are one of the most energy intensive crop and its major component are irrigation, land development (tillage), FYM (Farmyard manure) and fertilizers. The importance of Mechanization in cultivation system involves higher input cost but at the same time, it can reduce operation cost of cultivation, increases grain yield and can reduce operational time. Cost of cultivation of rice in different treatment was calculated by adding the cost of all input parameter such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, fuel, and labourer. Grain output was observed considerably higher in mechanized transplanting seedling compare to direct sowing. Direct sowing and zero till mechanical transplanting methods produced the low grain yield because of poor crop growth as compare to transplanting seedling of rice in a standing water table. The grain yield in mechanical transplanting varied from 29.5 to 32.6 q/h where as in direct sowing treatment 31.2 to 32.1 q/ha.
