Resource productivity, resource use efficiency and optimum resource use in NCS 145 cotton production

摘要

Investigation was carried out during the year 2003-04 in order to study the marginal productivity, economic efficiency and optimum resource use in NCS 145 cotton production in Parbhani district of Maharasthra. Results revealed that regression coefficient of hired human labour (0.182) was highly significant at 1 per cent level while regression coefficients of area of NCS 145 cotton (0.221), family human labour (0.137) and manure (0.077) were positive and statistically significant at 5 per cent level.Thus, it was inferred that these resources were under utilized and there was scope to increase them in the cotton production. Regarding resource use efficiency, a rupee investment on each of the resources, namely, hired human labour, manure, family humanlabour and area of NCS-145 cotton, was highly profitable. The optimum use of each of the resources was higher than the existing specific resources except bullock labour and potash.
