Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), origin – India, Afghanistan and Ethiopia, a member of the Asteraceae family, is a versatile, winter-spring growing, minor oilseed crop in India and Australia, offering key benefits to diverse summer and winter crop systems as well as components of mixed production system. The major safflower growing states in India are Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat. Maharashtra and Karnataka are the two most important safflower growing states accounting for 72 per cent and 23 per cent of the area and 63 per cent and 35 per cent production, respectively. In Parbhani district area under safflower crop was 15.06 hundred hectors with production of 14.76 tones and productivity of 980 kilogram per hectares during year 2022-23. Using Multistage sampling design two tehsil viz., Parbhani and Sonpeth, from Parbhani district were selected for study. This Paper is focused to economic impact of improved safflower variety PBNS-86. Use of this variety change to farmer’s income. Economic impact analysis can benefit farmers in several ways. It helps them understand how changes in market conditions, government policies, or environmental factors may affect their income and livelihood.
Safflower, Seed, Impact, Profit regression
Using data 2022-23, adopters and non-adopters per hectare utilization of seed, nitrogen, and phosphorus was lower for adopters than the non-adopters. In case of adopters average Cost A of adopters was observed to be Rs. 29467.88. Cost B was Rs. 48843.04. Cost C average was Rs. 71435.39 and non-adopters average Cost A of non-adopters was observed to be Rs. 30116.41. Cost B was Rs. 45400.72. Cost C was noticed average Rs. 67581.36. Benefited cost ratio were having high adopters than the non-adopters. Estimated the impact of PBNS-86 variety on farmers’ income using profit regression there are positive significance like safflower area, yield, source of information, annual income and valuation of assets.
