Abstract

This article explores two interrelated issues: (i) investigating the socioeconomic factors influencing the adoption of mixed cropping, irrespective of the crop combinations chosen by farmers across different seasons, and (ii) evaluating the role of mixed cropping in adapting to extreme delays in monsoon onset. Utilizing a panel data fixed effects regression framework, the study highlights that household-level factors, including area under cultivation, irrigated land, participation in agricultural organizations, and nonfarm income, significantly drive the adoption of mixed cropping. The Correlated Random Effects model findings reveal that although mixed cropping does not have a substantial impact on average revenue, it is effective in reducing crop losses caused by extreme delays in monsoon onset. Adopting such practices can enhance food security and mitigate the effects of weather shocks.

混合种植的采用和降低风险的效果:来自印度的证据
本文探讨了两个相互关联的问题:(i)调查影响采用混合种植的社会经济因素,而不考虑农民在不同季节选择的作物组合;(ii)评估混合种植在适应季风发生的极端延迟方面的作用。利用面板数据固定效应回归框架,该研究强调,家庭层面的因素,包括种植面积、灌溉土地、参与农业组织和非农收入,显著推动了混合种植的采用。相关随机效应模型的研究结果显示,尽管混合种植对平均收入没有实质性影响,但它有效地减少了季风发生的极端延迟造成的作物损失。采用这种做法可以加强粮食安全,减轻天气冲击的影响。
