Abstract

The study was conducted in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan covering Bhadra and Nohar blocks with 120 farmers from six selected villages. It was concluded that the large farm was more economical and feasible for rainfed kharif pulses production. Large farmer was more capable to utilize the available resources with less cost and could produce more. Government should further facilitate the better package of practices of rainfed kharif pulses production and training programme on pulses production technology for small and medium farmers. Extension services should be strengthened to disseminate the benefits and farm planning for better utilization of the available resources on the particular farm.
