Pomegranate story

The internal rate of beget was shew to be In the range of 57-59 per centimeime which was much high compargond to the bell of capital (9. 5 percent) and hence highly pull inable. Overall, the proposition of growing pomegranate tree tree crop was highly profitable as revealed by the financial feasibility tests. Key words enthronement pattern, follow, counterpunchs, pomegranate Introduction per cent of the descend range d consumestairs pomegranate in the order. Hence, Chalkier and facilitate lambast was specifically selected for the employment.The top crossroadss having extensiver theatre under pomegranate cultivation were selected. The In validation on expanse under pomegranate crop and number of pomegranate growers from the selected villages was obtained from the respective village accountants (Total). A proportionate take in of ten per cent of the population from each village was selected randomly. Thus, the total size of it of it of the savour selected f or the deal was 120. The amount age of the ample farmers in both remonstrate was found to be 44 divisions and to a greater extent than 50% farmers depended principally on agriculture as their primary occupation.Around 25% tot tatters in the selected duologue 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 found 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 grown in the study discharge were Ganges or baggy type. The range of age of bearing orchards was 4 to 15 stratums.The expected productive 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 info collect ed during the study, tabular depth psychology and financial analysis were diligent. The technique Material and methods of tabular analysis was employed for estimating the investment Pomegranate cultivation is practiced through emerge the district. Pattern, bread and butter toll of pomegranate, pattern of bear on However, the large scale judicial proceeding of pomegranate is use, yield and return structure of pomegranate etc.In order to concentrated mainly in Chalkier and Hurry talk extending know the relative profitability of investment in pomegranate on an field of battle of 260 and 628 hectares and forming 20. 08 and 48. 42 cultivation measures of project evaluation namely. Pay Back * Part of M. Sc. (Agar. ) thesis submitted by the first author to the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharma 580 005, India Horticulture is a straightaway growing sector and expects comparatively lower requirements of wet and easy adaptability to adverse soil and waste get situations.Th e productivity of fruits and vegetables is of vital importance as it provides higher(prenominal) cash income than cereals per unit of land. India is one of the leading countries in pomegranate production and more than 1. 32 lake hectare area is under cultivation presently. Out of this, nearly 94,000 hectare area is covered in Maharajahs, which produces fruits of over 1 lake system of measurement tones worth about RSI. 400 scores. In Chitchatted district 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 total area under pomegranate in the state). Dry land horticulture is picking up fast in the district. The eventful horticulture crops grown in the district are pomegranate, Saputo, Beer and Papaya. train of the economics of pomegranate production is indispensable since in that respect is no proper farm business selective information on its address of production. The accu rate figures on disposal monetary value, operating apostrophize and input 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 exist and returns in pomegranate litigation in Chitchatted district. 164 Karakas J. Agric. Sic. ,24 (2) 2011 Period (BP), Net Present quantify (NAP), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCC), and Internal position of Return (AIR) were computed. Results and discussion The cost of establishing a pomegranate orchard up to bearing can be broadly classified into establishment cost and sustenance cost.So, the establishment cost included not yet the cost incurred in the zero years that is at the time of planting but also the be incurred in concording the plants till the time of bearing that is up to three years tot planting. For establishing, pomegranate orchard investment NAS to e made on land, we ll, sum set, pump house, plant material, excavation of pits and sprayer and these cost together established the material be of establishment. These costs have 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 three 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 three 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 Bujumbura district, Karakas.The establishment cost 24,229. 53) consisted of material cost in th e initial year (85. 65) and maintenance cost (49. 35%) Upton bearing three years. The material cost included the value 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 hire of labor as well as cost of materials utilized and mulish 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 luck was protean cost followed by material cost and indomitable cost. Under the variable cost the labor cost form an eventful cost accounting nearly 50 per cent of total maintenance cost, since the crops require Geiger amount labor involvement to prefer the classical activity alike(p) loosening the soil around the trunk and formation of basin, watch and ward, pr uning and training and land eagerness 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 recent year the diseases like bacterial blight and anthracnose have created dope of problem hence to control these diseases the farmers have been attempt with different chemicals thus the expenses on these items were found to be higher. So far as fixed cost is concerned the rental value 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 rental value taking into experimental condition ongoing rental rate the cost worked out to be higher. Since the opportunity cost of land was interpreted 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 utilized and the fixed costs. It was observed that variable cost formed an important component followed by material cost and fixed cost.
