Study results further indicate that rice growers obtained gross margin as 28197.1 Rs/acre, but there were some problems facing by farmers in study area such as water shortage problem, high price of inputs, marketing problems, low price of output. Due hardworking of farmers and by proper Land management and timely use of quality inputs enhances the rice yield.
