摘要：The study on efficiency of paddy farms revealed that majority of the farmers were operating in medium efficiency level (70%) followed by low efficiency level (17%) and high efficiency level(13%) with respect to nitrogen. Similar trend was noticed in plant protection chemicals wherein farmers operating in medium efficiency level (74%) were higher than those of high (13%) and low efficiency levels (13%). The percentage excess of nitrogen usage over the frontier level ranged from 38.86% to 91.03% and plant protection chemicals from 42.53% to 70.54% with increase in nitrogen levels indicating inputs like nitrogen and plant protection chemicals were used indiscriminately in the study area in view of practice of their own method of cultivation. It is suggested that farmers should be trained about adoption of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices in paddy cultivation in TBP area.
