Abstract

Survey was conducted by the researchers of Adaptive Research Farm, Gujranwala
during kharif 2010 to evaluate the economic return of approved and un-approved varieties of coarse
rice by selecting eighty five farmers. The selected farmers were interviewed according to a well
designed questionnaire. The approved variety KSK-133 gave highest paddy yield 6453 kgha-1followed
by un-approved Shahkaar (6357 kgha-1) and Superi (5574 kgha-1).Income recorded for approvedvariety
KSK-133 was Rs. 132344 ha-1 which was slightly less as compared to unapproved Shahkaar (Rs.
136162 ha-1). The result of the survey revealed that education plays a vital role in agriculture
development. Moreover farmers having own machinery and easily excess to hired labour earned
maximum revenue from their crops.
