Abstract/Description: | The socio-economic outputs for the Chilakadabetta-1 micro-watershed (Shivapura sub-watershed, Gundlupet taluk and Chamarajanagar district) are presented here. Social Indicators; Male and female ratio is 61.2 to 38.8 per cent to the total sample population. Younger age 18 to 50 years group of population is around 55.1 per cent to the total population. Literacy population is around 71.4 per cent. Social groups belong to scheduled caste (SC) is around 30 per cent. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the source of energy for a cooking among 90 per cent. About 60.0 per cent of households have a yashaswini health card. Around 30.0 percent of farm households are having MGNREGA card for rural employment. Dependence on ration cards for food grains through public distribution system is around 70 per cent. Swach bharath program providing closed toilet facilities around 80 per cent. Institutional participation is only 8.2 per cent. Rural migration to urban centre for employment is prevalent among 10 per cent of sample households. 2 Women participation in decisions making are around 30 per cent of sample households. Economic Indicators; The average land holding is 0.8 ha indicates that majority of farm households are belong to marginal farmers. The dry land account for 72.1 % and irrigated land is 27.9 % of total cultivated land of the sample farmers. Agriculture is the main occupation among 79.6 per cent and agriculture is the main agriculture labour is the subsidiary occupation around 10.2 per cent of sample households. The average value of domestic assets is around Rs 93314 per household. Mobile and television are popular media mass communication. The average value of farm assets is around Rs 74219 per household, about 50.0 per cent of sample farmers are having sprayer. The average value of livestock is around Rs 25750 per household; about 58.3 per cent of household are having livestock. The average per capita food consumption is around 588.3 grams (1253.5 kilo calories) against national institute of nutrition (NIN) recommendation at 827 gram. Around 80.0 per cent of sample farmers are consuming less than the NIN recommendation. The annual average income is around Rs 36529 per household. All sample farm households are below poverty line. The per capita average monthly expenditure is around Rs.1401. Environmental Indicators-Ecosystem Services; The value of ecosystem service helps to support investment to decision on soil and water conservation and in promoting sustainable land use. The onsite cost of different soil nutrients lost due to soil erosion is around Rs 900 per ha/year. The total cost of annual soil nutrients is around Rs 505064 per year for the total area of 475.8 ha. The average value of ecosystem service for food grain production is around Rs.16231/ ha/year. Per hectare food grain production services is maximum in tomato (Rs.43260) followed by beans (Rs.18914), maize (Rs.16914), sorghum (Rs.16401), horse gram (Rs. 7824), sunflower (Rs.5818) and groundnut (Rs.4485). 3 The average value of ecosystem service for fodder production is around Rs.449/ ha/year. Per hectare fodder production services is maximum in groundnut (Rs. 675) followed by horse gram (Rs.472), sunflower (Rs. 329) and sorghum (Rs. 318). The data on water requirement for producing one quintal of grain is considered for estimating the total value of water required for crop production. The per hectare value of water used and value of water was maximum in beans (Rs.538092) followed by tomato (Rs 49965), sorghum (Rs. 48561), maize (Rs.36220), sunflower (Rs.30947), horse gram (Rs.20349) and groundnut (Rs. 20287). Economic Land Evaluation; The major cropping pattern is horse gram (29.9%) followed by sorghum (19.4 %) groundnut (18.1%), sunflower (16.7 %), maize (8.7 %) and beans (3.6 %). Chilakadabetta-1 Micro watershed, major soils are soil Hindupur (HDR) series is having shallow soil depth cover around 6.5 % of area. On this soil farmers are presently growing sunflower (50.0 %) and sorghum (50.0%). Hullipura (HPR) are also having moderately shallow soil depth cover around 16.6 % of area, the crops are beans (5.5 %), horse gram(44.5%), sorghum(44.5%) and tomato was 5.5 % each. Shivapura (SPR) soil series having shallow soil depth cover around 14.6 % of areas, crops are groundnut (50.0 %) and horse gram (50.0 %). Kannigala (KNG) soil series are having moderately deep soil depth cover around 11.7 % per cent of area. The major crops grown are groundnut (31.7%) and horse gram (68.3%). Annurkeri (ARK) soil series are having very deep soil depth covers around 7.4 % of area, the major crop grown is beans (13.1%), groundnut (36.9%), sorghum (36.9%) and tomato (13.1%). Kalligaudanahalli (KDH) and Beemanabeedu (BMB) soil series having very deep soil depth cover 7.3 % and 2.5 % of areas respectively; crops are maize, sunflower and horse gram. The total cost of cultivation and benefit cost ratio (BCR) in study area for groundnut ranges between Rs.18746/ha in SPR soil (with BCR of 1.0) and Rs.30525/ha in KNG soil (with BCR of 1.04). In horse gram the cost of cultivation range between Rs 6371/ha in SPR soil (with of 2.62) and Rs.28728/ha in BMB soil (with BCR of 1.57). In sorghum the cost of cultivation range between Rs. 11171/ha in ARK soil (with BCR of 2.53) and Rs. 18249/ha in HDR soil (with BCR of 1.71). In tomato the cost of cultivation range between is Rs.118609 /ha in ARK soil (with BCR of 1.25) and Rs331873 in HPR soil (with BCR of 1.28). 4 In sunflower the cost of cultivation range between is Rs 17602/ha in HDR soil (with BCR of 1.94) and Rs. 33353/ha in BMB soil (with BCR of 1.03). In beans the cost of cultivation range between is Rs 112311/ha in ARK soil (with BCR of 1.23) and Rs. 126088/ha in HPR soil (with BCR of 1.02). The land management practices reported by the farmers are crop rotation, tillage practices, fertilizer application and use of farm yard manure (FYM). Due to higher wages farmer are following labour saving strategies is not prating soil and water conservation measures. Less ownership of livestock limiting application of FYM. It was observed soil quality influences on the type and intensity of land use. More fertilizer applications on deeper soils to maximize returns. Suggestions; Involving farmers is watershed planning helps in strengthing institutional participation. The per capita food consumption and monthly income is very low. Diversifying income generation activities from crop and livestock production in order to reduce risk related to drought and market prices. Majority of farmers reported that they are not getting timely support/extension services from the concerned development departments. By strengthing agricultural extension for providing timely advice improved technology there is scope to increase in net income of farm households. By adopting recommended package of practices by following the soil test fertiliser recommendation, there is scope to increase yield in groundnut (56.6 to 58.7 %), horse gram (24.1 to 45.8 %), sorghum (38.2 to 53.1 %), sunflower (31.7 to 39.3 %) and tomato (44.9 to 64 %). |
