    9. Introduction:

    Wheat (Triticum spp.), the worlds most widely cultivated

    agronomic crop, in 2000, world wheat production was approximately 572 million

    metric tons on 205 million hectares. Of the cereal crops, wheat accounts for the

    greatest volume of international trade. Wheat is the staple food for about 40% of

    the worlds population. Common bread wheat (T. aestivum,L.) and durum wheat

    (T . durum Des f.) make up 90% of the worlds wheat crop. Commercially

    cultivated wheat is basically of two types i.e durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) and

    bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) that differ in their genetic complexity, adaptation

    as well as use. A wide range of products are now made and consumed worldwide

    from both types of wheat. Wheat is further classified as winter or spring, hard or

    soft, red or white, and by protein content. The majority of wheat produced is used

    for human consumption. Bread wheats are used in making bread, rolls, cakes,

    cookies, and pastries. Durum wheats are used for making pasta products.

    Wheat Scenario in India

    Wheat is one of the most important staple food grains of human race. India

    produces about 70 million tones of wheat per year or about 12 percent of world

    production. It is now the second largest producer of wheat in the world. Being

    the second largest in population, it is also the second largest in

    wheat consumption after China, with a huge and growing wheat demand.

    Production and productivity of wheat crop were quite low in India become

    independent in 1947. The production of wheat was only 6.46 million ton and

    productivity was merely 663 kg /ha during 1950 to 51, which was not sufficient to

    feed Indian population. Country used to import in large quantity for fulfilling need

    of our people from many countries Introduction of new technology during the

    fourth five year plan (1969-74) had changed share of Indian agriculture. The

    government of India appointed a commission in 1961 to assess feasibility of

    increasing the crop productivity under prevailing Indian ecological condition. The

    commission consisted of Dr. M. S. Swaminathan , Dr. N. E. Bourlaug and many

    others and concluded that production level of wheat would be increase , if suitable

    and superior germplasm / varites were available in country. The dwarf wheat

    decide having stiffer and shorter staw , were relatively photo insensitive and were

    capable of give high yield at high doses of fertilizer , irrigation other inputs harvest

    index {ie grain , starw ratio} was also more favorable in term of grain production.

    India achieved remarkable progress in wheat production during the last 4 decades

    and is the second largest wheat producer in the world. In India, scientific plant

    breeding probably began in the first decade of the 20th Century.

    To meet the growing demands under the constrains of depleting natural

    resources, environmental fluctuation and increased risk of epidemic outbreak, the

    task of increasing wheat production has become daunting. The euphoria generated

    by first green revolution is very quickly subsiding and the second generation

    problems are becoming more intense with each passing year. The factors

    responsible for first green revolution seem to be exhausting rapidly and there is

  • 7/27/2019 Jagdish Donde Orw

    sai

    immediate need to develop the technologies which can not only increase the wheat

    production but also sustain at higher level without adversely affecting the natural

    resources. More investment on germplasm improvement, conservation agriculture

    including breeding for varieties adaptive to conservation agriculture, hybrid

    wheats, broadening the genetic base of the varieties at farmers level, wide scale

    utilization of alien translocations in the breeding programme along with integration

    of marker assisted selection and other innovative approaches with traditional

    breeding methods are some of the technologies which can yield dividend in the

    coming years

    Despite remarkable growth in food production, the risks were exposed by

    food crisis in the recent years. Therefore, wheat production must continue to

    increase by 2% annually, more particularly in developing world including south-

    east Asia until 2020 to meet future demands imposed by population and prosperity

    growth

    Wheat is one of the most important staple food grains of human race. India

    produces about 70 million tones of wheat per year or about 12 per cent of world

    production. It is now the second largest producer of wheat in the world. Being the

    second largest in population, it is also the second largest in

    wheat consumption after China, with a huge and growing wheat demand.

    Geographical Area under Wheat Cultivation

    It is cultivated from a sea level up to even 10,000 feet. More than 95 percent

    of the wheat area in India is situated north of a line drawn from Mumbai to kolkatt

    10. Review of literature:

    The literature closely related to present study is briefly presented as below.

    Anonymous (2007) Studied on impact of crop production technologyof major food grain on farm productivity and income in western Maharashtra he

    observed that Per ha. Cost C of wheat was ranged from Rs. 16111.16 for up to 50

    percent to rs 18398.14 for above 51 percent level of adoption. The productivity,

    gross return and net farm income were higher by 5.68 qtl/ha, Rs. 6121.82 and

    3834.84 for above 51 percent adoption. The per at cost of production decline from

    Rs 647.59 to Rs 591.93 with adoption of above 51 percent technology, the

    increased productivity from 23.72 to 29.40 qt/ha the production cost declined by

    55.66 per qtl. Therefore the B:C ratio showed an improvement from 1.37 to 15.53

    with increase in technology

    (Minten and Barrett, 2008) One effective way to increase agricultural

    productivity is through wider adoption of new farming technologies

    (Matuschke et al.2007) He analyzes the adoption and impact of

    hybrid wheat in India. Based on survey data show that farmers can benefit

    significantly from the proprietary technology. Neither farm size nor the subsistence

    level influence the adoption decision, but access to information and credit matters.

    Hybrid seed production is not economical, their adoption by the farmers due to

    higher seed cost pose a great challenge to the scientific community. Hybrid seeds

    should be made cost-effective by decreasing the seeding rate, increasing the yield

    levels and alteration in planting technologies. Hybrid wheats may be adopted even

    in less-favorable, semi-subsistence environments provided there are efficiency

    gains in seed production and distribution systems Moreover, willingness-to-pay

    analysis reveals that adoption levels would be higher if seed prices were reduced.

    Given decreasing public support to agricultural research, policies should be

    targeted at reducing institutional constraints, to ensure that resource-poor farmers

    are not by passed by private sector innovations

    Anonymous (2007) studied on impact of crop production technology

    of major food grain on farm productivity and income in western Maharashtra he

    observed that at overall level cent percent adoption of requisite soil , harrowing

    and irrigation followed by nitrogenous fertilizers (99 percent), deed use (88

    percent), phosphorus fertilizer (83 percent), intercultureing (82 percent) and

    potassic fertilizer (79 percent). More than 75 percent of sample farm adopted

    timely sowing of wheat , 75 percent followed deep ploughing and 72 percent used

    seed drill for sowing . all wheat grower used improved varities of which 69 percent

    used HD-2189 remaining used MACS-2496, Lokwon Engale , Narmada , Nirmal,

    western 496 etc. it was notice that use of N and P as per recommendation was

    followed by 20 percent and 25 percent growers respectively , but nobody has

    followed adoption of K as per recommendation uniform adoption of prerequisite

    soil and irrigation by all farm size groups followed by slight variation for

    nitrogenous fertilizer (97 to 80 percent) was observed.

    Singh (2006) the cost of wheat production depends largely upon cash

    operational expenses since it constitute nearly 46% of total cost. The variable cost

    is largely determined by farmers managerial ability and efficiency of production

    technologies. As revealed from the study, the cost of wheat production was well

    below the Minimum Support Price (MSP) announced by the government but the

    farmers margin obtained by adding the value of family labours and rental value of

    owned land to the net return was only Rs. 18199/ha which was hardly sufficient to

    sustain a family for six months in cotton-wheat region of Punjab state. The figure

    for rice-wheat region was Rs.18853/ha making no significant difference from

    cotton-wheat system. Comparative economics of wheat cultivation in both these

    systems showed that cost of production was less in cotton- wheat system but rice-

    wheat system was more efficient. The yield of crops was affected significantly by

    operational holding, seed and land preparation. Analysis of variability and cost

    structure revealed that threshing, harvesting and land preparation were the

    variables which affected the working cost and in turn cost of cultivation the most.

    So these variables should be chosen as policy objects for the purpose of devising

    new technologies and to reduce the cost of production. The required evolution,

    dissemination and adoption of farm mechanization need huge amounts of private

    and public investment. But the low farmer margin does not support the case for

  • 7/27/2019 Jagdish Donde Orw

    8/24

    sai

    private investment. Better price incentives and reduced cost of production could

    improve the farmers margin. Hence, efforts should be directed to evolve

    technologies which could reduce the cost of wheat cultivation by reduced the

    expenses on threshing, harvesting and land preparation

    (Dubey, A.K 2007) Conducted to ascertain the level of knowledge and

    adoption behavior of the farmers with respect to wheat production technologies

    due to training imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Allahabad. Twenty-five

    trainees and equal number of non-trainees were randomly selected making the

    sample size of 50 farmers. It was found that trainees had high level of knowledge

    (100 %) whereas in case of non-trainees, 52% high level, 44 % medium level and

    only 4 % with low level of knowledge. There was a significant difference between

    trainees and non-trainees regarding the knowledge about the package of practices

    of wheat crop. The study also revealed that most of the trainees (84 %) had higher

    level of adoption followed by medium level (16 %) whereas, most of the non-

    trainees had medium level of adoption (64 %) followed by low level of adoption

    (32 %). This indicates that there had been a significant difference between trainees

    and non-trainees regarding the extent of adoption of package of practices of wheat

    crop. Trainees had higher level of adoption of recommended package of practices

    as also higher mean scores than the non- trainees. Thus, it could be concluded that

    the trainees had more knowledge and extent of adoption of package of practices of

    wheat crop than non-trainees. The KVK should organize more number of training

    programmers for maximum benefit of the farmers

    Gaokar (2000) Attempted the study on extent of technology adoption

    by farmer and also threw light on the factor affecting the use technology in

    canacona taluka of south goa . She found that there was direct relationship

    between education and technology adoption by farmer. The study further reveled

    that credit was important factor which influencing the technology adoption.

    Srivasrava et al., (2003) Have suggested that educational status of

    the farmers was also found to be an important factor in the adoption of improved

    cultural practices and high yielding varieties

    Vidya Sagar (1978) studied contribution of individual technological

    factor in agricultural growth for study area i.e. Rajasthan and concluded that out of

    the total increase in the overall level of agricultural productivity 97 per cent

    increase is contributed by the yield increase alone and very large part of yield

    growth in crops i.e. per cent change was by three technological factors viz.

    fertilizer irrigation and high yielding varieties

    Anonymous (1995) Study on constrains in cultivation of major crops

    on tribal farm in Dhule district show that the lack of awareness regarding improved

    varities, seed treatment, use of fertilizer to a greater extent in case of both the crops

    viz, paddy and rab jowar . The poor economic condition, high cost of certain input

    like FYM, fertilizer and insecticide and pesticide were major constrains pointed

    out by farmer in adoption of improved technology in area under study.

    Rajesh R. and S. Varadarajan (2000) Assess the extent of adoption of

    new dry land farm technology. An attempt was made to quantity and measure

    technology adoption with the help of the technology adoption index which was a

    summary measure of adoption of technology. The study found that the average

    level of adoption of technology was 51.29 per cent and the largest number of 102

    farms (33.33%) was seen in the class intervals of 51-66 per cent adoption. Faith in

    traditional farming, non-awareness and lack of knowledge were The major

    constraints in adopting recommended level of technologies in case of low

    technology adopters

    Hugar et al. (1992) Studied the extent of adoption of new technology

    in different crops. The study has been undertaken in North-Eastern transitional and

    North-Eastern dry zones of Karnataka state. Data was collected from 181 farms.

    The degree of adoption of various recommended practices was worked out using a

    six point scoring pattern. The study revealed that the recommended sowing time

    was the only practice followed by all the farmers. The extent of adoption of

    practices like sowing method, seed treatment was moderate in case of groundnut

    and sunflower. The extent of adoption was relatively higher with respect to time of

    sowing manual weeding, improved variety, method of sowing and plant protection

    measures.

    b.Factor share analysis:

    For estimating the contribution of each factor in yield, the multiple linear

    regression analysis was carried out by using the following equation

    Y= x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6+x7+x8+x9

    Y=a+b1x1+b2x2+b3x3+b4x4+b5x5+b6x6+b7x7+b8x8+b9x9+u

    Where,

    Y is the dependent variables, X1to X9 are the independent variables, b1 to b9 are

    the regression coefficients, a is constant and U is a random term.

    The specification of the selected variables is as follows,

    Y=Dependent variable

    X1 to x9=Technology

    b1 to b9=Regression coefficient

    a=Constant

    u=a random term

    After estimating the contribution of each factor, the same was used as a weightfor estimating the composite index of technology.

    3.7 Composite index of adoption:

    Composite index was developed to study the extent of adoption of technology by

    farmers .The index developed is as follows:

    PTAj = (WiTAij)/100

    Where,

    PTAj = the composite adoption index package by jth farmer

    Wi = the weight assigned to ith technology component

    TAij = Adoption index of ith component of technology adopted jth farmer

    After estimating the composite index of adoption of technology by the farmers,

    then the farmers were stratified into three groups viz., low, medium and high having up

    to 0.30, 0.31, to 0.50 and 0.50 and above composite adoption index respectively. After

    estimating composite index, for estimating the effect of composite index on yield,different production functions were tried.
