ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF VARIETAL DIVERSIFICATION OF PADDY IN BIJAPUR DISTRICT OF CHHATTISGARH

Abstract: The present study conducted to work out the varietal diversification in the Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh .the survey for specific objective was conducted to used assess agricultural diversification in Bijapur District of Chhattisgarh, focusing on three agro-climatic zones: Northern hills, Chhattisgarh plains, and Baster plateau. The study involved 95 farmers from two blocks Bhairamgarh ,Bhopalpatnam four villages Mirtur Fulgatta, Madded, and Bhatpalli , with 15 varieties study of cultivated. Swarna MTU-1001 MTU-1010 IR-64 Bamleshwari and HMT Chudhi Gudma Mahar Chakava Renje Kalamli were the most widely grown types, and some higher yielding variety like Bayer gold ,Tata dhanya VNR- 2245 With 217 farmers involved in the study , total area under paddy cultivation is 160.9 hectares. While medium farmer had the highest diversity at 0.86 very higher then small farmer 0.82 very higher large farmer 0.76 higher and last one is marginal farmer 0.72 moderate The overall diversity 0.79. was found In the study
