they have more than 90% share in area and production of pearl millet. The coverage of pearl millet&#13;
area in Maharashtra by improved cultivars was near total. In this background, the present study was&#13;
taken up to assess the adoption of hybrids and improved varieties and their impact on the incomes and&#13;
living standards of farmers through a detailed survey of 360 sample households drawn from 60 villages&#13;
belonging to 20 tehsils from nine districts. The sample for the field survey was concentrated in Nashik,&#13;
Ahmednagar and Beed districts, with lower allocations to Aurangabad, Pune, Dhule, Jalgaon, Sangli and&#13;
Satara districts. Three-fourths of the sample farmers belonged to Western Maharashtra (WMH) region and&#13;
the remaining one-fourth to the Marathwada (MTW) region. The field survey was carried out during 2013&#13;
and the household data pertained to the cropping year 2012-13...</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Impact Assessment</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Millets</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Pearl Millet</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Drylands Agriculture</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Indian Agriculture</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2017</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>ICRISAT</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Monograph</mods:genre></mods:mods>
