Impact Assessment of National Food Security Mission (NFSM) on Pulses Production in Karnataka, India - An Economic Analysis
No full textThe present study was conducted to examine the economic impact of NFSM on pulses economy in the selected districts of Karnataka state. The study period was divided into Period-I (Pre NFSM) from 1998-99 to 2007-08, Period –II (Post NFSM) from 2008-09 to 2015-16 and Period-III (Overall period) from 1998-99 to 2015-16. Primary data for Pigeonpea and chickpea crops were collected from Kalaburagi and Vijayapur districts of Karnataka respectively. The results of the compound growth rate analysis showed that during Period-III both area and production of selected pulses exhibited significant positive growth. The sources of change in the variance of selected pulses production revealed that the change in residual and change in area variance contributed the major share towards destabilizing the production of Pigeonpea and chickpea respectively in the state. The results of the budgeting technique revealed that the profit per rupees was more in beneficiary farms as compared to non-beneficiary farms in the cultivation of both the selected pulses

Economic and Technological Impacts of UAS-Bengaluru Crop Varieties on Karnataka Agriculture, India
No full textThe review article synthesizes evidence from multiple studies assessing the economic and technological impacts of improved crop varieties released by the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru (UAS-B), over the past few decades. UAS-B has played a pivotal role in enhancing agricultural productivity in Karnataka through sustained research and varietal development in crops such as finger millet, red gram, sugarcane, and sunflower. The review highlights significant yield improvements, increased net returns, and enhanced Total Factor Productivity (TFP) associated with varieties like GPU-28, KMR-204, BRG-2, and VCF-0517. Resource use efficiency analyses reveal underutilization of key inputs such as land and capital, indicating potential for further optimization. Additionally, economic surplus studies affirm the broader societal benefits of varietal adoption, with strong consumer and producer gains. Farmers\u27 positive perceptions of these technologies suggest high relevance, cultural compatibility, and potential for wide-scale diffusion. The review underscores the critical importance of sustained public investment in agricultural research and the need for dynamic policy support to accelerate the development and dissemination of location-specific, climate-resilient technologies for sustainable agricultural growth

No full textNot AvailableThis study was conducted to assess the impact of Foot-and-mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak in cattle and buffaloes on farming community in Kolar district, Karnataka state, India. Primary data were collected using pre-tested schedule from 178 sample farms using multistage random cluster sample technique. The results revealed that 78% of surveyed villages were affected with FMD. The FMD incidence risk was high across the herd sizes, whereas the mortality risk was high in small herds. In indigenous cattle, the highest loss due to FMD was distress sale (208 USD) followed by other losses, whereas, in Crossbred cattle, the highest loss was mortality loss (515 USD) followed by distress sale (490 USD), milk yield loss (327 USD), treatment cost (38 USD) and extra labour engagement expenses for nursing of FMD-affected bovines (30 USD). In local and upgraded buffaloes, the mean total loss per affected animal was 440 USD and 513 USD, respectively. A very high variability in the loss per animal was observed across the type of losses in the Crossbred cattle, and it may be due to differences in age of the FMD-infected animal, value of the animal, milking stage, lactation levels, herd sizes and labour engagement levels, etc. In local and upgraded buffaloes, the mean total loss per animal was 639 USD and 1008 USD, respectively. The sensitivity analysis for 5% change in price revealed that the mean total loss per animal was positively correlated with price. Further, the social impact elicitation revealed that majority of the livestock owners perceived FMD had caused permanent asset loss, which in turn increased psychological stress of the family. The estimated losses and social impact due to FMD signify the importance of the intervention to control the disease and thus socio-economic gain to the farmer and society at large.Project Directorate on Foot and Mouth Disease, Mukteshwar, Nanital, IndiaIndian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New DelhiIndian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR

Optimizing Returns in Mulberry Cultivation: A Resource use Efficiency Study in Chikkaballapur District of Karnataka, India
No full textThe present study was conducted to analyze resource use efficiency in mulberry cultivation using data from cultivators of the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka collected during 2021-22 from mulberry growing farmers. Twenty mulberry growers were selected using a multistage random sampling technique from each of the two chosen taluks leading in mulberry cultivation in Chikkaballapur district. The resource use efficiency analysis was carried out using production function analysis by comparing the marginal value productivity from each of the resources with the marginal input cost from each of the resources (profitability ratio). Results indicated scope to increase the use of fertilizer, FYM, and irrigation as additional expenditure on these resources would result in additional return. The summation of the production coefficients indicated increasing returns to scale and scope to increase the use of resources and optimize returns from mulberry cultivation from the current level
