Abstract

A study was conducted entitle functional relationship between different factors and product in paddy and wheat crop in Dabra block of Gwalior district M.P. Multistage random sampling method was used to acquire sample farmer, At the first stage of sampling, Dabra block was selected purposively, second stage of sampling, a list of the paddy and wheat growing villages were prepared from selected block (Dabra) then 20 villages were selected randomly, and the third stage of sampling, a list of paddy and wheat growers from each selected village was prepared then classified into five major categories on the basis of their land holding i.e. marginal (less than 1ha) small (1-2 ha), semi medium (2-4 ha), medium (4-10 ha) and large (10 ha or above).Then a sample of 30 farmers were selected in each category by simple random sampling technique under proportionate allocation from twenty villages treated as strata thus, 150 paddy and 150 wheat farmers were selected. After the analysis of data it

Conclusion

It is concluded from the results that, at overall farm level, the value of R2 was observed very high i.e. 0.95 and 0.97 in paddy and wheat crops respectively which gives signal that all the factors viz. seed (X1),fertilizer (X2), human labour (X3) machinery (X1) plant protection (X5) manure (X6) and irrigation (X7) were best fitted. The summation of regression coefficient at overall farm in both the crops (paddy and wheat) were observed less than one which implied that decreasing return found under both the crops in the study area.
