Pomegranate story

The internal rate of return was piece to be In the range of 57-59 per penny which was much higher comp bed to the terms of keen (9. 5 per cent) and indeed highly take inable. Overall, the hypnotism of growing pomegranate tree tree garnish was highly profitable as revealed by the fiscal feasibility tests. Key words enthronisation soma, comprise, returns, pomegranate Introduction per cent of the substance knowledge base downstairs pomegranate in the territory. Hence, Chalkier and zip up talk was specifically selected for the guide.The crystallize villages having larger area infra pomegranate husbandry were selected. The Information on area under pomegranate crop and go of pomegranate growers from the selected villages was obtained from the respective village accountants (Total). A proportionate sample of ten per cent of the population from each village was selected randomly. Thus, the integral size of the sample selected for the study was 120. The bonnie age o f the ample farmers in two talk was put up to be 44 eld and more than 50% farmers depended in the stolon place on agriculture as their basal occupation.Around 25% tot tatters in the selected dialog completed their primary education were as the per cent of illiterate farmer in the selected talks ranged from 12 to 15%. So far as size of family was concerned, it was entrap to be 7 members in family in both talks. The average size of holding of sample farmers was 2. 30 and 2. 89 ha and the average size of the pomegranate plantations was 1. 58 and 1. 47 ha in Chalkier and Hurry talks respectively. The varieties of pomegranate self-aggrandising in the study area were Ganges or Baggy type. The range of age of electric charge plantations was 4 to 15 years.The expected money boxable life span of pomegranate orchard as estimated by the respondents was 25 years. On an average plant population per ha was 375. For analyzing the entropy collected during the study, tabular diges t and financial analysis were employed. The technique square and methods of tabular analysis was employed for estimating the enthronization Pomegranate cultivation is practiced end-to-end the g all overn. Pattern, tending constitute of pomegranate, pattern of fag However, the large scale litigation of pomegranate is use, yield and return structure of pomegranate etc.In order to concentrated mainly in Chalkier and Hurry talk extending know the sexual congress profitability of investing in pomegranate on an area of 260 and 628 hectares and forming 20. 08 and 48. 42 cultivation measures of project evaluation namely. Pay concealment * Part of M. Sc. (Agar. ) thesis submitted by the first author to the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharma 580 005, India Horticulture is a riotous growing sector and expects comparatively get requirements of water and easy adaptability to adverse smut and waste tear situations.The productivity of fruits and vegetables is of full of life importance as it provides higher cash in income than cereals per unit of get to. India is one of the leading countries in pomegranate action and more than 1. 32 lake hectare area is under cultivation presently. off of this, closely 94,000 hectare area is covered in Maharajahs, which produces fruits of over 1 lake metric tones come to the forelay about RSI. 400 scores. In Chitchatted territory of Karakas, where the study has been conducted pomegranate is being grown on commercial scale. The area under pomegranate in the district is 1297 ha (10. 9 % of amount of money area under pomegranate in the state). Dry land horticulture is picking up fast in the district. The important horticulture crops grown in the district are pomegranate, Saputo, Beer and Papaya. Study of the economics of pomegranate production is indispensable since there is no proper farm business data on its court of production. The accurate figures on governance constitute, operating cost and introduce requirement of pomegranate orchard could be of great help to the pomegranate growers of Chitchatted district in particular.Therefore, an attempt was made to study the investment pattern in pomegranate orchard and to compute the cost and returns in pomegranate litigation in Chitchatted district. 164 Karakas J. Agric. Sic. ,24 (2) 2011 design (BP), Net Present Value (NAP), clear Cost Ratio (BCC), and Internal roll of Return (AIR) were computed. Results and discussion The cost of establishing a pomegranate orchard up to design can be broadly classified into establishment cost and maintenance cost.So, the establishment cost included not plainly the cost incurred in the goose egg years that is at the time of planting save also the costs incurred in maintaining the plants till the time of bearing that is up to one-third years tot planting. For establishing, pomegranate orchard investment NAS to e made on land, well, substance set, pump house, plant literal, excavation of pi ts and sprayer and these costs together constitute the material costs of establishment. These costs sop up to be invested during the year of establishment of the orchard and are considered as the costs incurred during zero year in the study.During next triplet years farmers has to maintain the orchard by applying fertilizers, manures, chemicals irrigation etc. The costs incurred by the farmers on all these items for the leash years are grouped together as cost of maintenance. The total costs of establishment (Table 1) were found to be 1,90,888. 1 and 1,89,644. 33 per ha of which material costs constituted 56. 87 and 58. 15 per cent and maintenance costs 43. 13 and 41. 85 per cent in Chalkier and Hurry talk respectively. Similar results were obtained by Giuliani (1990) in his study of the pattern of investment in pomegranate orchards in capital of Burundi district, Karakas.The establishment cost 24,229. 53) consisted of material cost in the initial year (85. 65) and maintenance c ost (49. 35%) Upton bearing three years. The material cost included the think of of land, plant material, cost of digging of pits and planting, well, pump set, pump house, and sprayer. The per hectare total establishment cost worked out to be 24, 224. 53 and returns per orchard was 45,429. 96. The maintenance cost (Table 2) as indicated in the results included the wages of labor as well as cost of materials use and wintry costs in Chalkier talk. It was notice that out of Table 1 .Investment pattern in pomegranate orchards SSL. No. Particulars total maintenance cost the major destiny was inconsistent cost followed by material cost and fixed cost. Under the variable cost the labor cost form an important cost accounting nearly 50 per cent of total maintenance cost, since the crops require Geiger amount labor closeness to prefer the important activity uniform loosening the soil around the frame and formation of basin, watch and ward, pruning and learn and land preparation etc. Among material cost the major component fertilizers, PC and manure.Since the pomegranate crop is responsively to nutrient and as well as in the new-made year the diseases like bacterial molest and anthracnose have created lot of problem hence to control these diseases the farmers have been trying with polar chemicals thus the expenses on these items were found to be higher. So far as fixed cost is concerned the renting mensurate of land formed the major cost component and it is observed that because of the higher productivity of the land and crops which are higher profit fronted the farmers to go for renting of land for the production of pomegranate crops.Even for the farmer who has been entering this crop on their own land where imputed the renting value taking into consideration on-going rental rate the cost worked out to be higher. Since the opportunity cost of land was taken into consideration for calculating the rental value of land,it was found to vary over the years. In Hurry talk, the maintenance cost (Table 3) included the wages of labor as well as cost of materials employ and the fixed costs. It was observed that variable cost formed an important component followed by material cost and fixed cost.
