| Abstract: |
Hiunde (Boro) rice has not been popularized due to least attention given to this crop in Nepal. In
order to estimate the production function of this crop, a field survey in Morang district during
2002/2003 was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire. The primary information was
collected through face to face interview. The result of the empirical model of Cobb-Douglas
production function revealed the model significant at 1% level and defined 95% variation in
Hiunde rice production due to variation in independent variables included in the model. The
coefficient of area, nitrogen, phosphorous, and tractor hour were found significant at 1% level
while the dummy for more than 10 times of irrigation was significant at 5% level and up to 10
times of irrigation and potash was significant at 10% level. The effect of human and bullock
labor was found non-significant. Among the sampled farmers the average cropping intensity was
194% and average yield of Hiunde rice was 4802.50 kg/ha. On an average 131 kg of nitrogen,
phosphorous and potash was applied for one ha and 15 irrigations in average. The net benefit
from Hiunde rice was found to be Rs. 14507.41/ha with 1.73 benefit cost ratio. About 31% cost
was incurred in land preparation and transplanting which was highest among the operations. It
was followed by the costs incurred in fertilizers and agrochemicals which counted 23%. |
