Economic Analysis of Laser Land Leveling Technology Water Use Efficiency and Crop Productivity of Wheat Crop in Sindh, Pakistan

Abstract

Present study was designed to determine the economic analysis of laser land leveling technology on wheat crop, study shows that overall cost of wheat by laser leveling technology was high 35998 Rs/acre due to highest land leveling cost. Overall high yield was obtained 45mds/acre by using laser leveling technology, due to uniform irrigation and fertilizer application with laser leveling technology total revenue of wheat production was received by the laser leveling technology grower’s 46260Rs/acre. Study results further indicate that laser leveling technology wheat growers obtained higher gross margin 23250Rs/acre, the mean time to irrigate an acre field was reduced from 2.26 hrs to 1.18 hrs means almost 50 percent time was saved to irrigate laser leveled fields. About 21 percent of irrigation was saved by the using of laser leveling technology, to survive in water shortage problem and utilize this saved water to increase land for more cultivation.
