Sorry again. Found the solution.

#+begin_threeparttable must come after name and caption.

The following works:

Org syntax:

#+NAME: gharsondi-yield
#+CAPTION: Average yields of selected crops in Gharsondi, Gwalior, Madhya
Pradesh and India, 2007-08 (kilograms per acre)
#+begin_threeparttable
#+RESULTS: gharsondi-yield-in
| Crop      | Gharsondi | Gwalior | Madhya Pradesh | India |
|-----------+-----------+---------+----------------+-------|
| Soybean   |       nil |     689 |            442 |   500 |
| Paddy     |      1553 |     866 |            569 |  1337 |
| Urad      |        53 |     142 |            142 |   192 |
| Sesame    |       101 |     127 |            153 |   170 |
| Wheat     |       824 |     664 |            652 |  1134 |
| Chick pea |       462 |     445 |            288 |   308 |
| Rapeseed  |       501 |     280 |            375 |   405 |
#+begin_tablenotes
\item [] \footnotesize{Note: Yield of rice Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and
India were converted to paddy equivalents.}
\item [] \footnotesize{Source: Data for Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and
India taken from the website Directorate of Economics and Statistics,
Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India}
#+end_tablenotes
#+end_threeparttable


Gives this:

\begin{threeparttable}
\caption{\label{gharsondi-yield}Average yields of selected crops in
Gharsondi, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and India, 2007-08 (kilograms per acre)}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrrrr}
Crop & Gharsondi & Gwalior & Madhya Pradesh & India\\

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\begin{tablenotes}
\item [] \footnotesize\{Note: Yield of rice Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and

\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
