Cross sectional data were collected from soybean growers with the help of pretested schedule by personal interview method. The data pertains for the year of 2015-16. The result revealed that marginal value product (MVP) to price ratio with respect to area, hired human labour, family human labour, machine, seed, manure, bullock pair and potassium was greater than unity while MVP to price ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and plant protection was negative. The results inferred that there was greater chance to increase seed, Potassium, manure and hired human labour utilization.
