Abstract/Description: | The socio-economic outputs for the Kanivaihundi Microwatershed (Hangala subwatershed, Gundlupet taluk, Chamarajanagar district) are presented here. Social Indicators; Male and female ratio is 45.4 to 54.6 per cent to the total sample population. Younger age 18 to 50 years group of population is around 48.5 per cent to the total population. Literacy population is around 66.5 per cent. Social groups belong to other backward caste (OBC) is around 75.0 per cent. Liquefied petroleum gas is the source of energy for a cooking among 79.0 per cent. About 50.0 per cent of households have a yashaswini health card. Dependence on ration cards for food grains through public distribution system is around 70.0 per cent. Swach bharath program providing closed toilet facilities around 62.5 per cent of sample households. Institutional participation is only 3.0 per cent of sample households. Women participation in decisions making are around 25 per cent of households were found. 2 Economic Indicators; The average land holding is 1.85 ha indicates that majority of farm households are belong to small farmers. The dry land account for 34.3 per cent and irrigated land 65.7 per cent of total cultivated land area among the sample farmers. Agriculture is the main occupation among 59.3 per cent and agriculture is the main and private service is subsidiary occupation for 7.4 per cent of sample households. The average value of domestic assets is around Rs. 10456 per household. Mobile and television are popular media mass communication. The average value of farm assets is around Rs. 60532 per household, among all the sample farmers having owen plough. The average livestock value is around Rs. 29000 per households; about 60 per cent of household are having livestock. The average per capita food consumption is around 617.2 grams (1408 kilo calories) against national institute of nutrition (NIN) recommendation at 827 gram. Around 87.5 per cent of sample households are consuming less than the NIN recommendation. The annual average income is around Rs. 35720 per household. About 87.5 per cent of farm households are below poverty line. The per capita monthly average expenditure is around Rs. 1212. 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. 570 per ha/year. The total cost of annual soil nutrients is around Rs. 274907 per year for the total area of 500.69 ha. The average value of ecosystem service for food grain production is around Rs 72273/ ha/year. Per hectare food grain production services is maximum in lemon (Rs. 415454) followed by horse gram (Rs. 9228), sunflower (Rs. 5480), cowpea (Rs. 3575), ragi (Rs. 1356) and sorghum is negative returns. The average value of ecosystem service for fodder production is around Rs. 1407/ ha/year. Per hectare fodder production services is maximum in sorghum (Rs. 2646) followed by cowpea (Rs. 1203) and horse gram (Rs. 1136). 3 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 (Table 25 and Figure 12) in lemon (Rs. 57663) followed by sorghum (Rs. 37291), sunflower (Rs. 32068), horse gram (Rs. 23235), and cowpea (Rs. 8093). Economic Land Evaluation; The major cropping pattern is sorghum (25.4 %), horse gram (25.4 %) followed by sunflower (21.7 %), cowpea (17.7 %), ragi (8.9 %) and lemon (0.9 %). In Kanivaihundi Microwatershed, major soil are soil of Honnegaudanahalli (HGH) series is having very deep 30.3 per cent area On this soil farmers are presently growing horse gram (50.0 %), sorghum (25.0 %), sunflower (25.0 %) followed by Hindupur (HDR) series is having shallow 13.2 % per cent of area On this soil farmers are presently growing cowpea (33.3 %), ragi (33.3 %), horse gram (14.8 %) and sorghum (14.8 %). Magoonahalli (MGH) series is havingg moderately shallow 14.0 per cent of areas, on this soil farmer are presently growing horse gram (47.4 %), sorghum (47.4 %). Gopalapur (GPR) series is having Moderately deep 45.5 per cent of area On this soil farmers are presently growing Lemon (100 %), Devarahalli (DRH) series is having moderately shallow 7.8 per cent area On this soil farmers are presently growing horsegram (50.0 %), sorghum(50 %). Kannigala (KNG) series is having moderately deep 16.7 per cent of area, on this soil farmers are presently sunflower and Annurkeri (ARK) series is having shallow soil deep cover around 4.2 per cent of area on this soil farmers are presently growing sorghum and sunflower. The total cost of cultivation and benefit cost ratio (BCR) in study area for horse gram ranges between Rs. 22995/ha in DRH soil (with BCR of 1.26) and Rs. 9018 in MGH soil (with BCR of 2.40). In sorghum the cost of cultivation range between Rs. 29444/ha in ARK soil (with of 0.05) and Rs. 16470/ha in MGH soil (with BCR of 1.12). In sun flower the cost of cultivation range between Rs. 27513/ha in ARK soil (with BCR of 1.22) and Rs. 23566/ha in KNG soil (with BCR of 1.31). In ragi the cost cultivation in HDR soil is Rs. 24418/ha (with BCR of 1.08). 4 In cowpea the cost of cultivation in HDR soil is Rs 14467/ha (with BCR of 1.33) and lemon cost of cultivation in GPR soil is Rs 33637/ha (with BCR of 13.35). 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 are deeper soil 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 ragi (71.8 %), lemon (63.2 %), sorghum (65.3 to 45.0 %), cowpea (47.2 %), sunflower (45.8 to 39.3) and horse gram (34.8 to 11.4 %). |
