The study was aimed to analyse the impact of tenancy on inputs use and their productivity, factors shared output as well as income shared by production participants. Two output sharing arrangements, 50 : 50 and 67: 33, 2343 observed between owner and tenant farmers. Majority tenant farmers reported that the 67 : 33 arrangement was prominent. In case of input sharing, 50 : 50 and 100 : 0 arrangements prevailed. Input sharing arrangement varied. Regardless of the nature of output sharing, the majority of the pure tenant farmers reported that 50% of the cost of input like seeds, fertilizers, insecticides but none for bullock, irrigation and labour were shared by the land owners, while the majority of the owner-cum-share croppers reported that no cost of inputs was shared by the land owners. In terms of income earned, the owner farmers were more beneficiaries than the pure tenant farmers and owner-share croppers. Of the factors used in the production processes, land earned the highest share of out followed by human labour. The contribution of human labour and fertilizers to production were found significant under all types of tenurial classes. Farm size has significantly negative contribution to production.
