Compare the Yield of Wheat Varieties Provided under NAIP (National Agricultural Innovation Project) through IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute) in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, India

Abstract

In nutshell, it is recognized that the economy of farmers in the district is largely agriculture based where contributing of farming communities has been recognized to be very important. The need of wheat recognized very steady progress in the district Dhar which can be achieved through adoption of improved wheat production including the variety of seed. The technological assets include a number of high yielding crop varieties, package of improved agro techniques and management of input use as well as resource management technologies which are still paying much towards enhancing productivity of wheat crop. . 80 respondents were selected randomly from the comprehensive list of beneficiaries under NAIP for wheat production selected by IARI during 2011-12 and 80 non-beneficiaries were selected from the same villages by using proportional method. The data revealed that improved wheat given additional yield of 11.70, 13.97 and 14.00 quintal per hectare as yield parameter of the area. As per the frequency higher than average value, the wheat growers confronted that lack of sufficient resources and capital was main constraint (ranked I st ) followed by lack of technical guidance through scientist about improved technology (ranked II nd ), lack of irrigation water (ranked III rd ), not getting remunerative price (ranked IV th ) and lack of electricity (ranked V th ) respectively.
