| Abstract/Description: | 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. 1927 per ha/year. The total cost of annual soil nutrients is around Rs. 774753 per year for the total area of 407.98 ha. The average value of ecosystem service for food grain production is around Rs. 20159/ ha/year. Per hectare food grain production services is maximum in banana (Rs. 53650) followed by onion (Rs. 6420), sunflower (Rs. 3594) and maize (Rs. 2941) and groundnut is negative returns. The average value of ecosystem service for fodder production is around Rs. 4289/ ha/year. Per hectare fodder production services is maximum in groundnut (Rs. 6116) and maize (Rs. 2462). 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 banana (Rs. 175617) followed by groundnut (Rs. 26177), maize (Rs. 21261), onion (Rs. 16796) and sunflower (Rs. 18579). 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. The finding helps in identifying the priority areas for soil and water conservation investment.to achieve land degradation neutrality |
