Abstract/Description: | The socio-economic outputs for the Hanumantharayanagudda-2 Microwatershed (Hangala sub-watershed, Gundlupet taluk and Chamarajanagar district) are presented here. Social Indicators; Male and female ratio is 46 to 54 per cent to the total sample population. Younger age 18 to 50 years group of population is around 55.7 per cent to the total population. Literacy population is around 82.2 per cent. Social groups belong to other backward caste (OBC) is around 70 per cent. Light petroleum gas (LPG) is the source of energy for a cooking among 90.0 per cent. About 70 per cent of households have a yashaswini health card. Only 20.0 percent of farm households are having MGNREGA card for rural employment. Dependence on ration cards for food grains through public distribution system is around 80 per cent. Swach bharath program providing closed toilet facilities around 80.0 per cent. Institutional participation is only 13.3 per cent. Women participation in decisions making are around 50.0 per cent of sample households. 2 Economic Indicators; The average land holding is 1.04 ha indicates that majority of farm households are belong to marginal and small farmers. The dry land account for 60.8 % and irrigated land is 39.2 % of total cultivated land of the sample farmers. Agriculture is the main occupation among 71.2 per cent and agriculture is the main and agriculture labour is subsidiary occupation for 24.4 per cent of the sample households. The average value of domestic assets is around Rs. 87513 per household. Mobile and television are popular media mass communication. The average value of farm assets is around Rs. 5784 per household, about 50 per cent of sample farmers are owing plough. The average value of livestock is around Rs. 20067 per household; about 42.8 per cent of household are having livestock. The average per capita food consumption is around 690.7 grams (1501.9 kilo calories) against national institute of nutrition (NIN) recommendation at 827 gram. Around 70 per cent of sample households are consuming less than the NIN recommendation. The annual average income is around Rs. 48539 per household. About 80.0 per cent of farm households are below poverty line. The per capita monthly average expenditure is around Rs 1155. 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 452 per ha/year. The total cost of annual soil nutrients is around Rs 58781 per year for the total area of 668.2 ha. The average value of ecosystem service for food grain production is around Rs. 37885/ha/year. Per hectare food grain production services is maximum in turmeric (Rs. 142496) followed by sunflower (Rs. 10234), onion (Rs. 93300), tomato (Rs. 9445), horse gram (Rs. 7050), groundnut (Rs. 3187) and sorghum is negative returns. The average value of ecosystem service for fodder production is around Rs. 1917/ ha/year. Per hectare fodder production services is maximum in sorghum (Rs. 3590) followed by horse gram (Rs. 1281) and groundnut (Rs. 880). 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 3 of water used and value of water was maximum in tomato (Rs. 83902) followed by turmeric (Rs. 40928), sorghum (Rs. 34270), sunflower (Rs. 30218), groundnut (Rs. 20390), horse gram (Rs. 19342) and onion (Rs. 18662). Economic Land Evaluation; The major cropping pattern is sunflower (38.7 %) followed by horsegram (27.4 %), sorghum (15.2 %), groundnut (8.0 %), turmeric (4.7 %), tomato (3.0 %) and onion (3.0 %). In Hanumantharayanagudda-2 Microwatershed, major soils are Devarahalli (DRH) series are having moderately shallow soil depth cover around 2.0 % of area. On this soil farmers are presently growing onion (50.0 %) and tomato (50%). Kannigala (KNG) series are having moderately deep soil depth cover around 2.08 % of area; the crops are groundnut (37.8 %), horse gram (13.1 %) and sunflower (49.0 %). Kallipura (KLP) soil series having deep soil depth cover around 0.95 % of areas, crops are sorghum. Annurkeri (ARK) soil series are having veer deep soil depth cover around 3.9 % of area; the major crops grown are horse gram (23 %), sorghum (22.6 %) and sunflower (54.4 %). Beemanabeedu (BMB) soil series are having very deep soil depth covers around 5.0 % of area, the major crop grown is turmeric (100 %). Honnegaudanahalli (HGH) soil series having very deep soil depth cover 4.8 % of areas respectively; crops are horse gram, sorghum and sunflower. The total cost of cultivation and benefit cost ratio (BCR) in study area for sorghum the cost of cultivation in KLP soil is Rs.38586/ha (with BCR of 1.11) and Rs 20801/ha in ARK soil is (with BCR of 1.36). In horse gram the cost of cultivation range between is Rs.15993/ha in KNG soil (with BCR of 1.52) and Rs 10367 in ARK soil (with BCR of 2.38). In sunflower the cost of cultivation range between is Rs 36804/ha in KNG soil (with BCR of 1.83) and Rs. 24433/ha in ARK soil (with BCR of 2.17). In tomato the cost of cultivation in DRH soil Rs 48348/ha (with of 1.18). In groundnut the cost of cultivation in KNG soil is Rs. 24664/ha (with BCR of 1.18). In onion the cost of cultivation in DRH soil Rs.115679/ha (with BCR of 1.78) and in turmeric the cost of cultivation in BMB soil Rs 57087/ha (with BCR of 3.46). 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 4 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 sorghum (56 to 67.4 %), sunflower (35.1 to 54.7 %), horse gram (31.0 to 36.9 %), groundnut (57.1 %), onion (71.9 %) and tomato (23.5 %). |
