INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

• Agriculture has been the major source of livelihood in the country

• Indian agriculture is characterized by mixed farming

• Small and marginal farmers are unable to meet the need with the income from crop husbandry

Conti…Conti…

• In the recent years, integrated farming system gave scientific touch to the existing practices

• The main aim of the farming system are to improve rapidly the socio economic condition of the individual families

OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES• To identify the existing farming systems

• To study the socio economic and personal characteristic of the farmers association with the farming systems

• To find out the adoption of improved practices in different farming systems

• To compare the profitability of the different farming systems based on the production activity.

• To document the constraints faced by farmers in adoption of different farming systems

REVIEW OF LITERATURE• Concept of farming system

• socio economic and personal characteristic of the farmers association with the farming systems

• Adoption of improved farm practices by farmers

Conti…Conti…

• Profitability of different farming systems

• Constraints faced by farmers in different farming systems

IMPLICATION OF THE IMPLICATION OF THE STUDYSTUDY

• As the combination of enterprises gives more profit to the farmers ,its always better to follow more than one enterprise.

• Some small and marginal farmers who have vegetarian food habit, hesitate to adopt enterprises like poultry, sheep , goat etc.

• Instead of following monocropping, it is better to carry out mixed or intercropping to avoid loss and get more income.

IMPLICATION OF THE IMPLICATION OF THE STUDYSTUDY

• The constraints such as middleman problem, lack of storage facilities , electricity problem, non availability of soil testing report could be minimize by the concerned efforts of the concerned department.

• There is a tendency among farmers to grow specific crops like potato, ginger extensively that fetch more market prices.
