Abstract:
The present study entitled “Economic Analysis of Black gram in Washim district” was undertaken in three tehsils of Washim district i.e. Mangrulpir, Karanja and Washim. The primary data were collected from selected farmers by personal interview. The information was collected regarding socio-economic characteristics of farmers, cost and returns of black gram cultivation. The data pertained for the year 2021-22. Per hectare total cost of cultivation of black gram i.e. cost 'C3' at overall level was Rs./ha 38610.56 and it was highest in large size group i.e. Rs./ha 41428.6. Net returns at cost 'C3' at overall level was Rs./ha 17967.84 and it was highest in large size group i.e. Rs./ha 19872.17. Input output ratio of black gram cultivation at cost 'C3' at overall level was 1.46 and it was highest in small size group i.e. 1.50.
In case of Resource use efficiency of black gram production, at overall level, the regression coefficient of human labour (-0.2923), machine charges (0.1262), manure (-0.0340) was found to be significant. The value of coefficient of multiple determination (R2) of estimated production function was 0.66, which indicated that about 66 percent variation in per hectare productivity of Black gram is being explained by the explanatory variables included in the function. In case of small, medium, large size groups and at overall level, human labour, bullock labour, machine hours, manures were over utilized. at overall level marginal value of product to the factor cost ratio of bullock labour, machine charges, nitrogen, phosphorous was positive and less than one whereas of human labour, manure and plant protection was negative and less than one. This indicates over utilization of these resources. Hence, there should be reduction in utilization of these resources to optimize black gram returns.
