Item Cash flow analysis of coconut based high density multi-species cropping system – A case study(2007-02-08) Sairam, C.V.; Gopalasundaram, P.; Srinivasa Reddy, D.V.; Subramanian, P.; Umamaheswari, L.; Hegde, M.R.The cash flow analysis was performed for the coconut based intercropping systems under optimum management conditions for the period 1983-84 to 1996-97, involving banana, clove and pineapple as the inter/mixed crops. The variable capital requirements for adoption of the system ranged between Rs. 8,200/ha during 1984-85 to Rs. 40, 570/ha during 1996-97 for full dose of recommended fertilizers. This was mainly due to the increase in labour cost which alone contributed to 46-72% of the annual maintenance cost. The gross margin realized from the system ranged between Rs. -1,750/ha during 1983-84 to Rs. 92,230/ha during 1996-97. The capital requirement was marginally less when 2/3rd of the recommended fertilizers were applied. The Benefit Cost Ratio of the system was more than three for full as well as two-third level of fertilizers doses.Item Characterization of a spicata mutant of coconut palm in India(Indian Society for Plantation Crops, 2014-04) Arunachalam, V.; Rajesh, M.K.; Jerard, B.A.; Jayabose, C.; Sairam, C.V.Item Cocoa cultivation - Economics & future prospects(2007-02-08) Nampoothiri, K.U.K.; Sairam, C.V.Item Cocoa economy: an international perspective with special reference to Indain scenario(Indian Society for Plantation Crops, 2005) Jayasekhar, S.; Jose, C.T.; Sairam, C.V.; Arulraj, S.Item Coconut based mixed farming systems and its economic advantages(Coconut Development Board, 2000-07) Maheswarappa, H.P.; Sairam, C.V.; Dhanapal, R.; Vidhan Singh, T.; Hegde, M.R.Item Coconut community in India -a profile(CPCRI, 2001-09) Arulraj, S.; Rajagopal, V.; Sairam, C.V.; Thamban, C.; Anithakumari, P.; Dhanapal, R.; Bosco, S.J.D.; Subaharan, K.; Naresh Kumar, S.; George V.

Indian economy. To apply the Information Technology tools, it is required to link all the relevant data sets in to a single system. To achieve this objective, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has launched a mission mode project entitled Integrated National Agricultural Resource Information System (INARIS) involving 14 research institutes. The efficiency of the databases at various centres could be enhanced by providing solutions to customer queries in an integrated manner, for which data marts are to be developed. In this papeG basic concepts of designing of the data marts are applied to the plantation crop sector. Three data marts viz., statistics, agro-techniques and research were identified in the field of plantation crops as a part of Centralized data warehousing of national agricultural resources. Different aspects of data mart design were delineated. The detail and summary levels of data in the data mart were documented. Developing data marts will help to evolve decision support tools in respective area of specialization without much cost involved. Finally, the data warehouse would be built-up by joining the data marts.Item Economic analysis of arecanut based farming systems - a case study(1999-12) Sairam, C.V.Item Economic analysis of cashew cultivation(2007-02-08) Sairam, C.V.; Rao, E.V.V.B.; Nair, M.K.Item Economic analysis of coconut - based mixed farming systems(2007-02-08) Maheswarappa, H.P.; Sairam, C.V.; Dhanapal, R.; Vidhan Singh, T.; Hegde, M.R.Item Economic analysis of coconut cultivation under micro irrigation(2006-10) Thamban, C.; Sairam, C.V.; Vasanthakumar, J.; Arulraj, S.Item An economic analysis of temporal price instability and supply response in arecanut(2004) Jayasekhar, S.; Jose, C.T.; Sairam, C.V.The present study is partly a methodological attempt where a non-parametric regression frame was used to analyze the time series dataon arecanut. Sudden changelshift points were observed in price, area and production data of arecanut by fitting kemel weighed IMBl linear regression with dummy variables for shift. The data has been classified into different periods based on the shift points. The differential growth rates and trends in various periods are substantiated based on available literame- obselvations and assumptions. Three shift points (four periods) were observed in price data two shift points (three periods) in area and one shift point (two periods) in production and productivity. Although the prices were stable after the drastic fall in 1972-73, from mid-eightyies onwards, frequent price fluctuations were observed. Commercialization of arecanut trade made the marketing system highly complicated and conducive for the trade manipulations. The price instability revealed in the irregular time series component proved the poor market intelligence in arecanut trade.Item Economics of arecanut and coffee mixed croping system(2007-02-08) Nampoothiri, K.U.K.; Sairam, C.V.Item Economics of coconut cultivation in Kasaragod district of Kerala-A micro analysis(2007-02-08) Sairam, C.V.; Muralidharan, K.; Umamaheswari, L.Item Economics of nutrient management in arecanut based farming systems(2007-02-08) Sairam, C.V.; Joshi, G.V.; Arulraj, S.Arecanut is a small holders crop in India cultivated in 0.27 million ha with an anr production of 0.33 million tons of nuts and the average productivity is 1243 kg/ha. Arecai being a perennial crop, has a gestation period of 4-6 years and a long economic life spa about 45 years. Hence the flow of costs and returns spread over a number of years \\ varying degree of magnitude. Under this situation, in order to minimize the degrei production and price risks and stabilize the gross farm income, arecanut A field sur conducted among 400 arecanut growers in North Kerala during 1997-98 indicated tha addition to dairy enterprise, arecanut farmers undertake various combinations of ban. pepper and coconut as inter/mixed crops. In the case of nutrient management in these gardi the farmers adopt appropriate integration of organic and inorganic manure for the main c and the level of fertilizer application increases with the size of holdings. About 50 to 75c the total organic manure requirement is recycled through the byproducts of the main cro well as the intercrops. The application of chemical fertilizers is mostly restricted to arecs and coconut. However the intercrops are given sub optimal dose of organic manures c The share of manures and fertilizers accounted for 15 to 37 % of the Total Variable Cos different arecanut based farming system models. Farmers are advised to adopt vari cropping/farming system models.Item Estimating cost of production of coconut in a region(2009-12) Sud, U.C.; Bathla, H.V.L.; Muralidharan, K.; Mathur, D.C.; Thamban, C.; Sairam, C.V.Item Estimation of cost of production of coconut under optimum management conditions in North Kerala(2007-02) Sairam, C.V.; Gopalasundaram, P.; Muralidharan, K.; George, M.V.; Hegde, M.R.; Umamaheswari, L.The estimated cost of cultivation of coconut based on 1995-96 prices, under optimum management conditions of North Kerala, ranges from Rs. 28,600/ha during the first year of planting to Rs. 23,450/ha during the stabilized bearing period. The same for irrigated condition ranges between Rs. 52,650 and Rs. 27,750/ha and the cost of production was estimated as Rs. 3.30/nut and Rs. 2.60/nut under rainfed and irrigated condition respectivelyItem Export potential of plantation crops in India(2003) Rajagopal, V.; Arulraj, S.; Sairam, C.V.
