| This paper has documented the impact of shelterbelt on agricultural returns by collecting primary data from 80 farmers each in shelterbelt and non-shelterbelt areas. To decompose the total change in net returns, separate production functions have been estimated for shelterbelt and non-shelterbelt farms. The study has revealed an increase of 430.8 per cent in net returns due to shelterbelt plantation, in which shelterbelt technology has contributed 399.4 per cent and increase in use of complementary inputs, 31.4 per cent. In the change of 399.4 per cent, shelterbelt has accounted for 305.6 per cent, i.e. shifting from non- shelterbelt to shelterbelt and remaining 93.8 per cent has been due to inputs used by non-shelterbelt, which might be due to improvement... |

| The impact of land irrigability classes on crop productivity has been reported based on the survey of Mahi right bank (MRB), Ukai-Kakrapar right bank (UKRB) and Kakrapar left bank (KLB) canal command areas of the Gujarat state. The multi-stage random sampling method was used to select the farmers. The MRB and UKRB areas have five different soils environment in terms of land irrigability classes, while the KLB area has only three soils environment. The major crops grown in the UKRB are sugarcane, rice, cotton and pigeon pea, while sugarcane and rice are the major crops in the KLB. Similarly, in the MRB, rice, pearl millet, groundnut, wheat and tobacco crops occupy 95 per cent of the total irrigated area. The study has revealed that farmers have violated the... |

| Henna (Lawsonia sp.) is a rainfed plantation crop commercially cultivated in Rajasthan on 32,084 ha (2001-02) for its leaves, which are important source of a natural dye. The present study has assessed the profitability and economic viability of henna cultivation based on the data collected from a sample of 100 farmers during 2003-04 in the Pali district of Rajasthan. Based on the factors like net present value, internal rate of return, benefitcost ratio, henna cultivation practised by the farmers has been found to be a financially viable proposition. The financial viability parameters have been found to be more sensitive to changes in prices than cost. |
