production and consumption with adoption of technologies and its impact on crop
productivity, income, and other socio-economic issues. The average productivity of
improved variety of chickpea in adopted villages was estimated at 9.5 quintal/ha & for
local variety it was 8.5 q/ha. For pigeon pea the productivity was 18to 19 quintal/ha. The
per capita income in the adopted village was more than that of control village accounted
54% of income from the crop enterprises and from pulses its share was estimated only10 to
12percent of total farm income. Human labor accounted highest cost in pulse cultivation
(farm family contributed about52 percent of total labor). Comparative cost and benefit
analysis indicated that pulse crop were more remunerative in Bihar. Constraints analysis
indicates that the non-availability of seeds of high-yielding varieties in the desired
quantities was perhaps one of the major constraints followed by moisture stress, high pod
borer incidence, and shortage of labor during harvesting and threshing and some of variety
found not suitable in flood affected area etc in pulse production. The share of consumption
expenditure on pulses was only 15.60 percent of total food expenditure/household. It is
suggested that major future expansion of area under pulse crops may take place in rice
fallows, (1.2 million ha) where there is no other crop to compete with. Steps to reduce the
temporal and spatial variation in price of pulses will definitely help in sustaining as well as
enhancing the farmers' interest in pulses production. The government has never treated the
MSP as an effective tool for increasing pulses production; High volatility in prices for long
periods, low productivity, and stagnation in production technology has acted as
disincentives for pulses production.","2017-06-10","published",,"International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences","6","6","2319-7706",,"3150-3161",,,,,,"10.20546/ijcmas.2017.606.371",,,,,"TRUE",,"23197692",,,,,,"","http://dx.doi.org/10.20546/ijcmas.2017.606.371","https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?q=Socioeconomic+Analysis+on+Problems+and+Prospects+of+Major+Pulse+Productions+and+Consumption+in+Bihar%2C+India&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
