This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present study has made a deep investigation covering, both important aspects, such as economics of production and marketing, besides, constraints in the cotton production in Haveri District. It also analyses the marketing cost and marketing margin, which exercise a dominant influence on its economics. Under such situation, it is a matter of paramount importance to study the seasonal variation in Bt cotton and non Bt cotton arrivals and their effect on prices of cotton, profitability of Bt cotton and non Bt cotton cultivation and the behaviour of farmers towards Bt cotton and non Bt cotton prices and their effect on area allocation, production and productivity of Bt cotton and non Bt cotton. In view of the above situations, there arises a need to interpret the phenomenon of cost and profitability of Bt cotton and non-Bt cotton. The findings of the study will be of interest and useful to local agencies, research scientists, policy makers and commercial organisations. The aim of the study is to analyse the problems associated with cost and profitability of production and marketing of Bt cotton and non-Bt cotton in Haveri District of Karnataka State India.

This book was released on 2010-08-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakthroughs in science and technology often produce stunning results such as in the green revolution which swept through much of Asia averting the food crisis. Given the present slowing of agricultural growth and rising commodity prices, breakthroughs are once again urgently required and this has put biotechnology at the forefront of a new potential green revolution. One of the frontrunners in this has been development of Bt Cotton which was introduced into India in 2002, amidst much hesitation, after its induction in a large number of other countries. Whereas it has been accepted and has spread rapidly in India leading to a substantial growth in cotton production, there are conflicting reports about its success and various issues and problems have been raised. In light of this, the book examines the performance of Bt Cotton vis-à-vis non-Bt Cotton in the state of Maharashtra which is the largest cotton growing state by area. This is part of a coordinated study undertaken by the authors for the Ministry of Agriculture covering four major cotton states—Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu—which together account for about 70 percent of the country's cotton production. The book examines the adoption, experience, performance and economics of Bt cotton in Maharashtra. It reports on the advantages, disadvantages as well as other observations on Bt cotton as conveyed by the farmers of the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the envy of the world for its quality and variety, Indian cotton today is mired in uncertainty and despair. Though India is the largest producer of cotton, its farmers are trapped in debt, and thousands choose to kill themselves than face an ignominious fate. Handloom weavers, once proud standard-bearers of the country's artisanal heritage, are barely able to scrape together a living. To make matters worse, there is the back-breaking competition with artificial fibres. Meena Menon and Uzramma take us through the fascinating history of cotton in India, examining its illustrious origins, its blood-stained colonial heritage, and the events that led to its current crisis. Amid the bleakness, the authors suggest a silver lining: reviving indigenous cotton—and the handloom industry that spun its fame. Through painstaking research, Menon and Uzramma show that with the right combination of friendly policies and championing the Indian cotton brand, it is possible to restore the fabric's past glory. This is an important book not just for lovers of cotton but anyone concerned with the struggles of Indian agriculture in a brutal, fast-changing market.

This book was released on 2014-12-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bt (Bacillus Thuringiensis) cotton seed production focussed on the socio-economic characteristics of contract farmers, cost and return, efficiency of resource use and problems faced by the farmers in Bt cotton seed production under different companies. The total cost of Bt cotton seed production varied from one company contract farmers to other company contract farmers. The Cobb-Douglas production function revealed that the farmers who have contracted with different seed companies, the use of seed was found to be optimum across all company contract farmers. Whereas, fertilizer resource was over utilized by farmers who have contracted with various companies. Non availability of trained labour and prevalence of high wage rate were the major constraints in case of production, where as poor technical assistance and low contract price were the contractual problems. Therefore the Bt cotton seed production technology had positive impact on Socio- economic status of farmers by increase in yield and reducing cost on inputs thereby increase in income and also standard of living.

This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of Bt cotton in India has been remarkable with an unprecedented 168-fold increase between 2002-09. The price for official Bt cotton seed in India in 2005 was Rs 1600. The Indian government imposed a ceiling on the price of Bt cotton seeds in 2006. Thus, the adoption rates recorded an increase of 192% in 2006 over the previous year. Also during the same period when the adoption rates were increasing, many more Bt cotton hybrids were approved for cultivation in India. This book has analyzed whether and to what extent the government seed price interventions in 2006 have influenced adoption of Bt cotton in India. Another important contribution of this research is finding the effect of technological development defined in terms of number of Bt hybrids approved for commercial cultivation, on percentage area adopted under Bt cotton. Using a dynamic logistic model, it finds that although seed price interventions of the government were successful in impacting the adoption rates but its impact was limited. It was also found that technological development is an important factor affecting adoption rates.
