Abstract

Rice is the stable food in India, improvement in efficiency levels is one of the major means of sustaining the staple food production and thereby ensuring food security. This study was taken up to determine the technical efficiency of rice cultivation under different irrigation systems in Tamil Nadu. It could be concluded that the mean technical efficiency was 0.76, 0.75 and 0.71 for canal, well and tank irrigation system respectively. This showed that in the study region, the efficiency of the farmers was almost same for all the three systems of irrigation. Thus, productivity can be increased by adoption of non-monetary inputs like timely sowing, maintaining optimum plant population, timely irrigation, efficient use of fertilizers and irrigation water, need based plant protection measures and timely harvesting of crop.
KEY WORD: Rice cultivation, Technical Efficiency, Different irrigation systems.
