The economic returns to investment made in soil and water conservation research have been analyzed.
Technologies such as conservation furrow, residue incorporation have been found to be economically
viable under farmers’ conditions. The study has covered four locations, viz. Agra and Varanasi in Uttar
Pradesh, Kota in Rajasthan and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. The economic surplus analysis has revealed
that when adopted on a large scale, soil and water conservation technologies generate significant economic
surplus as reflected in high NPV and BC ratio. The share of producer surplus has been found to be higher
in the total economic surplus generated from technology adoption. Thus, investments in generation and
transfer of soil and water conservation technologies have been found be justified in terms of economic
benefits. However, various constraints that hamper adoption of these technologies are to be addressed so
that the potential benefits could be realized by both farmer and consumer.
