Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate hybrid rice cultivation in blocks of highest acreage in Udham Singh Nagar district. A three stage sampling technique was employed for constructing sampling plan. In the first stage of sampling plan was the selection of blocks, selection of villages on second stage and respondent selection was done at on stage third. Probability proportion to size method technique was followed to select respondents which make a sample size of 60 farmers comprising of 28 small, 17 medium and 15 large farmers from 4 villages. Objective of this paper to estimate the costs and returns based on CACP (Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices) concept and to examine resource use efficiency of hybrid and inbred rice varieties in study area. Farm-level data analyzed by using suitable and appropriate tools and technique. This study revealed that the net returns of inbred varieties over cost C3 were Rs. 19639/, Rs. 27580/ and Rs. 29548/ha on small, medium and large farms, respectively. The corresponding figures for hybrid rice were Rs. 25589/, Rs. 30039/ and 36069/ha on small, medium and large farms respectively. Result shows that cultivation of hybrid rice seems more beneficial venture of farmers in surveyed area. Effort should be made to expand area under hybrid rice cultivation on larger scale.
