This study is based on data available from various official sources and also self-conducted analysis of secondary and primary data on market and farmer study. The production of paddy in Haryana during the year(2011-12) was 3759 thousand tones, indicating a 294 thousand increase over the previous year. During the period, Haryana accounted for the 13.92 per cent of the production of wheat and 3.60 for paddy in India. Production of food grains has increased from 47.71 lakh tons in 1970-71 to 166.29 lakh tons in 2010-11, showing an increase of more than 300 percent. The wheat and paddy crops have played a major role in pushing up the agricultural production in the State. The analysis showed for the paddy that the yield effect is contributing nearly two fold to the total production compared to the area effect. The yield effect was contributing 28.92% against 63.84% area effect, whereas 7.25% of the growth was contributed by the interaction effect and for wheat it showed that the yield effect is contributing nearly two fold to the total production compared to the area effect. The yield effect was contributing 29.83% against 42.06% area effect, whereas 8.11% of the growth was contributed by the interaction effect. Seed Replacement Rate is the percentage of area sown out of total area of crop planted in the season by using certified/quality seeds other than the farm saved seed. Ideally seed should be replaced every year for hybrids and every three to four years for non-hybrids. However, in practice seed is replaced less often especially in case of open pollinated crops. The farmers cited different reasons as their driver for seed replacement of an existing variety. These are: a) Low grain yield, b) Low straw yield, c) Disease susceptibility, d) Poor roti quality and f) Lodging susceptibility. Certified seed from public varieties and private companies is defined as seed that has passed field inspection and seed testing standards for varietal purity and certain diseases. In most cases, certified seed must exceed 90 percent germination. KEY WORDS: |
