Abstract

A study has been carried out on analysis of marginal value of productivity (MVP) of different inputs under different size of farm in paddy and wheat crop in the 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, due to comprise maximum area under paddy and wheat cultivation, at the 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 growing farmers 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

Conclusion

It is concluded after the research that, in paddy production, MVP of X1 (seed), X2 (fertilizer), X3 (human labour) X4 (machinery), X5 (plant protection), X6 (manure) and X7 (irrigation) on all size of farms as well as on overall farm were observed less than unity except X5 on large farm, X6 on marginal, semi -small and on medium farm, X7 on medium and large farm size were observed greater than one, whereas in wheat production, MVP of X1 (seed) X2 (fertilizer) X3, (human labour) X4 (machinery) X5 (plant protection) X6 (manure) and X7 (Irrigation) were observed less than unity in all the size of farm as well as overall farm except X3 on overall farm and marginal farm, X4 on medium farm, X5, on medium and marginal farm and X6 on small and semi-medium farm was observed greater than one. Hence over utilized factor (MVP less than 1) may be reduced and underutilized factor (MVP greater than 1) may be increased for enhancing profit of farmers. So, underutilized factors (MVP>1) may be raise
