is 2744.15 kg whereas in Hagedal it is 2482.19 kg per acre. This is because the l<strong>and</strong>s in<br />
Gundur are relatively good as compared to the l<strong>and</strong>s in Hagedal.<br />

N~47 in Gundur \lllage <strong>and</strong> 69 In Ilagedal "llage. But In case of use of gypsum N= II in Gundur <strong>and</strong> 25 in<br />
Hagedal. this is because gypsum is used by farmers only in saline affected l<strong>and</strong>s in both the study villages.<br />
Application of irrigation, which is taken in terms of st<strong>and</strong>ing water in inches, is found t~l be<br />
more in Hagedal than Gundur. This is because in Gundur, the WUA prevents over<br />
irrigation by strictly adopting thc <strong>Irrigation</strong> schedules. An interesting observation is that<br />
farmers sometimes are ready to make drastic variations in the applications of various<br />
inputs, but the amount of water applied to paddy remains almost unchanged. The estimated<br />
correlation cocfticlcnts of important variables to rice yields under different soil conditions<br />
of Gundur <strong>and</strong> flagellal villages arc given in Table 8.2 .<br />
• Gypsum <strong>and</strong> IInc arc soli amendments used as additives that are spread on the surface or injected into the<br />
soil of a field.<br />
I Rice seed is actually unhulled paddy.<br />
