Average outturn. 



Area. 



The average outturn of juar on irrigated land is about 10 maunds grain and 60 

 maunds dry fodder, and of chari about 300 maunds green fodder, equal to 100 maund^ 

 dry fodder. For irrigated land the general average is 8 maunds grain and 45 maunds 

 dry fodder, chari yielding 280 maunds green fodder, equal to about 90 maunds when 

 dry. These are the averages iovjudr sown alone or with only the smaller pulses. When 

 arhar is associated with it the outturn is decreased by about 25 per cent. The outturn 

 of the subordinate crops may be put at — arhar 5 maunds, other pulses 2 maunds, til ^ 

 maund.
