Main objectives were to analyse the costs and returns and input-output ratio of lentil on different size group of farms. One hundred respondents were selected from Mitauli block of Lakhimpur (Kheri) district including all three categories of the farm size.

The disposable pattern of lentils shown in the table reveals that Total production was highest in large size farms (16.8 quintals) as compared to medium size farms (15.1 quintals) and small size farms (15 quintals).
