Combined harvester cum thresher-CH
Seed, fertilizers, micronutrients are in kilograms, FYM, tank silt in quintals,
sheep penning in days, pesticides in Lt/kg and machinery (tractor, sprayer,
duster, pumpset, harvester, and thresher) in hours
Main production in kgs and by-product in quintals was recorded
Total quantity of inputs used for crop production and main and by-product
harvested was recorded
Unit price in rupees (Qt/Kg/Lt/Hr) paid for purchased inputs were recorded.
Existing market prices are used to compute the value of own inputs and crop
outputs
Total value (Rs) for each input used for crop production and value of main
product and by-product
Codes used for the sources of inputs and outputs:
Own =1, Purchased =2, Loan/Credit =3, Hired =4 and Others (Gift/exchanged) =5
Any other information related to that particular crop. Reasons for high/low
use of inputs and output recorded
Note: In 2005-06 and 2006-07 output was recorded along with input in fields “Qty_mat”,
“Rate_mat”, “Val_mat” with codes 6 (main product), 7 (by-product i.e fodder) and 8 (other byproducts
if any) for “Source _mat” and the file was named as “Cult_ip_op”.
Where as in 2008-09, output was entered along with the crop information and therefore the
file which is “Crop_info” in 205-06 and 2006-07 became “Crop_info_op” in 2008-09. The file
which is “Cult_ip_op” in 2005-06 and 2006-07 became “Cult_ip” in 2008-09.
Livestock Economics Schedule (VLS-Z)
This module gives information about the maintenance of livestock and small ruminants
owned by the household and total expenditure and returns from this livestock rearing from 2005-06
to 2008-09. All livestock owned by the household is categorized as draft animal, cows, she
buffaloes, young cattle, sheep & goat, poultry and others. Expenditure is calculated by using market
prices for dry and green fodder, grazing of grass, concentrates and feeds fed to each category of
livestock. Labor cost (grazing, milking, cattle shed cleaning, fodder feeding, and washing animals
etc.) and other costs (medicines, transport, ropes and veterinary services) for each category of
livestock are collected. Income received from hiring out animals and number of days worked on
own farm for draft animals is also recorded for calculating the maintenance cost. Outputs (milk,
dung, wool and eggs) and price/unit are collected to compute total income and net returns from
livestock enterprise during the survey year. Changes in the status of livestock due to birth, death,
sale and purchases are recorded. Information is collected in rounds at a regular interval of 3-4
weeks.
New fields such as animal sold/gifted out and value included in 2008-09 survey.
Maintanence cost and returns for improved and local breed milk animals recorded separately during
2008-09 survey year. Description of the information collected in this module is given below.
