Abstract/Description: | Rice is the staple food in Telangana. Transplanting is the most widely adopted method of rice establishment and requires large amount of water. Water is going to be most critical input in the future for agriculture in general and rice in particular. System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method of cultivation produces higher yields with less water. The objectives of this paper were to conduct a partial budgeting analysis of SRI and also to study the perception of farmers towards System of Rice Intensification. A field survey was carried out in Nalgonda district of Telangana in 2015. Eighty four farmers from twelve villages of Nalgonda distirct were selected randomly. They were interviewed personally using semi-structured questionnaire to know about the input and output details in SRI. Farmers perceived SRI as a yield enhancing, cost saving and less water requiring technology. The major constraints perceived by the farmers were skill requirement in transplanting, drudgery in using cono weeder, nursery management and non-availability of adequate organic manure to apply in SRI fields. The partial budgeting analysis revealed that SRI adoption would bring net gain to the tune of Rs.19420/ha. The BC ratio of SRI (1.75) was found to be higher than transplanting method (1.3). Therefore, to save water, seed and labour costs and to make rice cultivation remunerative, SRI could be promoted by addressing the constraints perceived by the farmers. |
