Assessment of farm level resource utilization in different rice types across the major rice growing districts of Tripura

Abstract

This study undertaken in the four major rice growing districts of Tripura, has examined the farm level resource utilization of paddy production. The primary data collected from rice farmers using the stratified random sampling were used in the present study. During the study it was found that, in case of both autumn and summer rice the coefficient of manures and fertilizers was highly significant across all the size of farms. Similarly, in autumn rice the coefficient of machine labour was found to be highly significant across all size groups of farms except semi medium size of farms.In autumn rice for all farms sample, the MPP for all the factor inputs except the human labour in small farms and area along with machine labour in semi medium size of farms were found to be positive.
