Description The study on economics of farming systems was carried out in northern
transitional zone of Karnataka. It was based on primary data collected from the 240
sample respondents in peri-urban and rural areas of the zone for the year 2010-11.
The sample respondents practiced as many as 24 different farming systems, which
included crops, vegetables, flowers, plantations, sericulture, dairy, poultry and sheep
and goat rearing activities. The top four farming systems in each of the situation of
peri-urban and rural areas based on highest per cent of farmers practicing were
considered for economic analysis. In peri-urban area of Dharwad the net returns were
highest in crops and dairy system (Rs.33533.56). In rural area of Dharwad, the net
returns were highest in crops, dairy and plantation system (Rs 57285.23). Whereas, in
the case of Belgaum peri-urban area the net returns were highest in crops, vegetables,
dairy and poultry system (Rs 11142.62). In rural area the farming system consisting of
crops, dairy, goat performed much better (Rs 31668.41). The dairy was the most
common non-crop component included in all most all the farming systems and it was
found profitable. The vegetable was one of the profitable components of the farming
systems in the peri-urban areas. The MVP: MFC ratio indicated that the profitability
from most of the farming systems can be increased by reorganization of the resources.
The risk efficient plans in most of the cases had the potential to generate more income
and employment. Proper mix of dairy and vegetable components with crops appeared
to be more risk efficient in the study area. Lack of field demonstrations on proper mix
of components of farming systems, lack of funds to purchase quality inputs and
livestock, labour shortage during peak operation and price fluctuation were the major
constraints in adoption of farming systems.
