In present investigation we use the Cobb-Douglas type of production function. The sample of 120 organic farmers was selected from which input-output data collected. Functional analysis of wheat crop revealed that among the seven (7) explanatory variables the coefficients of human labour, irrigation, FYM + jeevamrit and machine labour were found to be positive with significant impact on yield of organic wheat. The coefficient of organic pesticide had negative and significant effect. However, the effect of seeds and vermi-compost were found to be non-significant on organic wheat production in Haryana. The MVP to MFC for Human labour, machine labour, irrigation, vermi-compost and FYM + Jeevamrit were positive and greater than one, indicated under-utilization of these resources in organic wheat production. For organic pesticide and seeds the ratio of MVP to MFC were less than one which indicates over-utilization of these resources in organic wheat production.

Poultry farming in India was mostly a backyard venture till 1960s. India is the 5th major producer of broiler after the United States, Brazil, the European Union and China, with an annual production of 3,625 thousand metric tons (USDA Report, 2014). The broiler industry is growing at a rate of 10-12% per annum. Major drivers of consumption are an expanding middle class, increasing employment levels and incomes, new demand for ready-to-eat products and the growing presence of affordable quick service restaurants, and a general preference for poultry meat over other meats due to low prices and cultural and religious non preferences for pork and beef. A moderate shift in the consumption pattern from vegetarianism to non-vegetarianism is also helping the industry by increasing the demand for poultry products. Chickens raised intensively for meat are often called Broilers. Broilers are floor-raised on litter such as wood shavings or rice hulls, indoors in climate-controlled housing. Under modern farming methods, meat chickens reared indoors reach slaughter weight at 5 to 6 weeks of age. Broilers are not raised in cages. They are raised in large, open structures known as grow out houses which are equipped with mechanical systems to deliver feed and water to the birds. They have ventilation systems and heaters that function as needed. The important poultry growing states in India are

The periods of the study were divided into four sub-periods viz. Period-1 (1990-91 to 1999-00), Period-II (2000-01 to 2009-10), Period-III (2010-11 to 2019-20), and Overall period (1990-91 to 2019-20) for the meaningful elucidation of results. NPK consumption in Haryana across four divisions, during period-I, period II, and period III was found positive except for phosphorus in period III. Among all the fertilizers, higher growth was noticed in potash which has the highest variability as compared to other fertilizer nutrients. The variability in consumption of different nutrients (N, P, and K) in Haryana has shown that during period-I, II, III and overall nitrogen consumption was more stable, while, potash consumption was highly unstable during all the periods.

The experiment was conducted by surveying 60 maize cultivators selecting 30 respondents from each i.e. Karnal and Yamunanagar districts. Maize growers were personally interacted to extract relevant information. Cobb- Douglas production function was used to determine the resource use efficiency of maize cultivation to find out the most significant factor which influences the respondent; Henry Garrett's (1969) ranking technique was used. For optimal allocation of resource, it was observed that all the inputs in both the districts were less than unity, which indicates that all these inputs were over utilized in the respective district. It reflects that all the inputs were over utilized and use of these inputs needs to be curtailed to attain higher returns. Major constraints were watch and ward required to protec...
