Crop Estimation Survey
The objective of Crop Estimation Surveys is to obtain the estimates of average yield per hectare (productivity) and total production of principal crops, both at District and State levels by conducting crop cutting experiments. The scheme is being implemented from 1950-51 onwards in the State.
A crop cutting experiment for any specified crop involves marking of experimental plot of specified size in the selected field, harvesting, threshing and weighing of the produce obtained from it. In a specified number of cases, the produce so obtained will be stored and dried for a further period in order to determine the weight of the dried produce.
The following crops are covered under this survey.
| Sl. No. | Food Crops | Non-Food Crops |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Paddy (Rice) (K & R ) | Groundnut (K & R ) |
| 2 | Jowar (K & R ) | Sesamum (K & R ) |
| 3 | Bajra (K) | Castor (K) |
| 4 | Maize (K & R ) | Sunflower (K & R ) |
| 5 | Ragi (K & R ) | Soyabean (K) |
| 6 | Korra (K) | Cotton (K) |
| 7 | Redgram (K) | Chillies (K & R) |
| 8 | Greengram (K & R ) | Sugarcane (K) |
| 9 | Blackgram (K & R ) | Tobacco ( R ) |
| 10 | Horsegram (K & R ) | |
| 11 | Bengalgram ( R ) |
K – Kharif, R – Rabi
