Abstract:
An investigation was undertaken to compare the economics of guava grown under organic and inorganic farming systems in Hisar district, Haryana. Data were collected from different villages under both farming systems. Results indicated that, per hectare production of organic guava was 198 quintals and conventional guava was 259 quintals in 7th year. The per hectare total cost of guava production was Rs.176349 and Rs.193668 under organic and conventional farming respectively. Per hectare total net returns of on organic guava (Rs.272121) as compared to conventional guava (Rs. 215034) were found to be higher in organic farming. Benefit: cost ratio was observed to be higher in organic farming. Hence, organic guava production was beneficial than conventional guava production.
