The operational energy input of the cotton and soybean crop were collected for traditional and self propelled mechanized small farming. The operations considered were as sowing, interculture, harvesting and picking of the crop. The energy input like human power, bullock power for traditional operation was examined in entire work of this study. Similarly, the energy used in operations of mechanized farming was examined for the exact quantification of the operational energy input. The study reflects the comparison of the operational energy input of both small farming. The operational energy input in traditional farming of soybean crop was observed more than mechanized farming. In cotton crop practices operational energy used was more in traditional farming as compared to mechanized farming. The cost of energy is four times more in traditional farming as compared to mechanized for soybean crop. Similar way in cotton the cost of energy is double in traditional farming as compared to mechanized farming. On the basis of the cost of energy, the soybean crop with the mechanized farming is the best option for maximize the net profit of the small farmers in the region. Key words: Small farming Traditional Mechanized Operational energy input Energy intensity Energy economics INTRODUCTION power is very crucial for timely farm operations for increasing production and productivity and handles the In the Indian economy agricultural shares is near crop produce to reduce losses [2]. about 28% of the total GDP. The peoples of India are But now days the animal powers are reduce. Not mainly depends on the agriculture and allied field which only because of the reduction in population of animal but is near about 65% more or less. But, Indian context have also increase in mechanical power. The tractors are use in the second largest population in the world and contribute field and transportation of other vehicles is used. And as near about 17 to 18% of total population of the world. So, compare to man and animal power to machine power is it is clear that land system of traditional farmers is being most important for developing countries. It is save time change due to pressure of growing population of the and increase production. The precision in mechanization country. Now a day, majority of the farmer in our country of farm is very important because of increase in crop came under small marginal lands (area) system. These production, best quality product. In small farm it is very fragmented lands have lower productivity due to the difficult to use tractor operated implement. Hence, for inadequate operation and merger use of the precise farm small farm self- propelled machine are used such as power machineries [1]. tiller, rice transplanted tiller, sprayer etc. It is the extreme Power is needed on the farm for operating different need of human being to increase the productivity of the tools, implements and during various farm operations. small farm because of increasing population day by day. While mobile power is used for doing field jobs, the In agriculture sector of India, the energy use pattern for stationary power is used for lifting water and operating unit production of crops has varied under different agro irrigation, thresher s sellers, cleaner s graders and for climatic zones.

3 Theory for the Traditional Cropping System : The power requirement at the various stages of traditional cropping system was computed by means of various stage involvement of operation. This has included the sowing of crops, intercultural (hoeing and weeding), harvesting/picking of the crops. The formula used to calculate the power or energy requirement was as below [6] [4]: (4) ED = TMW X h X EE (3) Hm ED = TFW X h X EE Hf where, ED Hm = Direct energy human for male (MJ), TMW = Total male working, h = Specific working hours per run (h/ha), EE= Energy equivalent (kw), ED Hf= Direct energy human for female. ED = ED + ED (5) H Hm Hf where, ED = Total Direct energy for human H The bullock power requirement in the various operation of the crop production was computed as follows: ED = TBW X h X EE (6) B World J. Agric. Sci., 4 (4): , 2008 LABOUR TIME (2) The total traditional operational energy is the LABEN = LABENF AREA cumulative function of the human power and bullock power input was computed as follows: where, LABEN = Labour energy (MJ/ha), LABOUR = Number of working laborers, TIME = Operating time (h), ED = ED H + ED B (7) AREA =Operating area (ha), LABENF=Labour energy factor (MJ/h) Where, ED = Total direct energy, ED H = Direct energy for Human, ED B= Direct energy for Bullock. The energy input intensity (e) was determined from the summation of equations of all energy inputs in traditional and mechanized cropping system by the following expression: e = E/A (8) where, e = Operational energy input intensity (MJ/ha), E = Total energy consumption(mj), A = The effective production area (ha) Energy Economics: The operational energy economics of traditional and mechanized system were calculated by using the current cost spends on the various parameters. The cost of human power, cost of bullocks, cost of fuel required have been considered for the exact assessment of the cost involvements in crop production operations [7].
