Abstract: Agriculture in India is one of the most important primary sectors of its economy. Though, the proportion of Indian agriculture domestic the GDP has been steadily declining over the years. Main cause for deceleration in agricultural increase is declining investment in agriculture research and improvement and irrigation, inefficiency of rural credit score and extension. One greater the maximum vital component is; inefficient use of assets is the purpose for declined boom of agriculture quarter. So the existing examine become below taken in Belagavi district to analyse the useful resource use efficiency of principal rabi crops. Major plants grown in the district consisting of wheat, jowar, chickpea and sunflower were selected for the study. Multistage random sampling was adopted for selection of sample respondents. Cobb-Douglas production technique was employed. Results of the study revealed that the farmers were using human labour, plant protection chemicals and irrigation more than the recommendation which unnecessarily adds to the total cost of production. Farmers using seeds, fertilizers and FYM less than the recommendation leads to low nutrients availability to the crops. Farmers were using the FYM 50 per cent less than that of the recommended. The sum of elasticity coefficients with 0.27, -0.03 and 0.29 for wheat, jowar and chickpea respectively, showed decreasing returns to scale. While, sunflower crop shows increasing returns to scale i.e. 1.11. The value of coefficient of multiple determination (R2) were 0.86, 0.95, 0.81 and 0.90 for wheat, jowar, chickpea and sunflower respectively.
