Determinants of productivity of hybrid rice in National Food Security Mission districts of Madhya Pradesh

The present study is undertaken in Madhya Pradesh to study the factors affecting on productivity of hybrid rice. Two districts namely Rewa and Mandla, having higher concentration of rice have been selected for the study and 40 hybrid rice growers were selected in each district comprises of 80 hybrid rice growers. A multiple log linier model was used to drawn conclusion. It is observed from the study that the expenses on seed (0.152), chemical fertilizer (0.082), human labour (0.243) were found to be positive and highly significant to production of hybrid rice, which reveals that if all the things remain constant and at the present level of technological adoption an additional expense of `1.00 each on seed, chemical fertilizer and human labour will be able to increase the yield of hybrid rice up to 0.152, 0.082 and 0.243 kg ha-1 respectively. The expenses on manures, pesticides, machine labour were found to be positive but non-significant shows that there should be need to provide extra attention by the rice growers, while using these crucial inputs at farms. Hence, efforts should be made to provide skill oriented training and demonstration to hybrid rice growers’ field for enhance the productivity of hybrid rice in the study area.
