Financial Productivity of Agricultural Crops in Karnataka

Dr. Premakumara G. S, Usharani N. D.

Abstract :

In the present paper an attempt has made estimate the financial productivity of selected agricultural crops in order to recommend crops for cultivation, based on financial productivity of crops. The financial productivity of sugarcane is comparatively high, given the irrigation facilities and cost constraints. Hence, it has been recommended for selection as a commercial crop. Next to sugarcane, it is the cotton, recommended as a second best particularly in non irrigated areas instead of groundnut, jowar and ragi. Paddy could have been the third alternative, particularly in irrigated areas. Instead of jowar, groundnut could have been the better option. Since, there are no significant differences between ragi and jowar one can be chose one among them. All these recommendations are subject to cost constraint and agro–climatic conditions.
