The model used data of a cross-sectional survey of 681 farm beneficiaries who have benefited under the Sustainable Livelihood for Adaptation and Climate Change (SLACC) project. The SLACC project was carried out in two districts of Madhya Pradesh (Central-India). The 13 logit models were performed which impacts the decision making of the farmers to enhance the exiting farming practice at the field level. Independent variables used for this study are socio-economic variable, credit accessibility, farmland holding, gender etc. which attracts farmers towards sustainable practices. The major finding of this exercises shows a positive relationship between the adoption of ‘line sowing’ of rice and ‘SRI’ (System of Rice Intensification), and the number of years of farming experience The credit accessibility results are positive significant where farmers have to adopt major farm activities like deep ploughing, seed replacement, zero tillage etc. combat the climate change vagaries. More interestingly, organic manure has been adopted by the vulnerable groups higher than the others where results are also validated from the ground level information. The promotions of above interventions require more focus policy driven steps to bifurcate different vulnerable groups under a cluster approach for effective credit diffusion to address Climate Resilient Practices.","PeriodicalId":394563,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovative Agriculture","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124438999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Tamil Nadu, the districts namely Salem, Namakkal, Dharmapuri, Permbalur are important in their contribution to the increase in area and production of castor Nadu and its mainly grown castor as border crop and an intercrop under rainfed condition. An Identification of high yielding castor hybrids, development of production technology and dissemination of improved technology through FLDs resulted in increase of castor area, production and productivity of castor in Tamil Nadu. Cultivation of castor with improved technologies gave higher net returns ranged from Rs.50425 to 63290/ha, and a mean value of Rs.55998.33/ha as compared to local check with recorded Rs.18700 to 20185/ha and mean value of Rs.19173.33/ha. The improved production technology registered an additional net returns ranging from Rs.31725 to 43105/ha with a mean of Rs.36825/ha over local check. The average benefit cost ratio of the demonstration plot was 3.84, varying from 3.65 to 4.16 and that of local check was 2.24, varying from 2.20 to 2.30. It can be concluded that the front line demonstration through Tribal Sub Plan scheme with an integrated crop management techniques proved more productive and remunerative than that grown under local practices.","PeriodicalId":394563,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovative Agriculture","volume":"84 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114995213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
