ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted in agriculture farm of Fasalwadi village, Sangareddy district of Telangana, India in the year 2015 to 2017 during kharif season to study the effect of organic manures on economics of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation. The experiment was carried out with combination of 10 treatments and two controls of four organic manures viz., farm yard manure, vermicompost, jeevamrutha and panchagavya with two varieties of rice RP.BIO.226 and DRR Dhan 39. Cost of cultivation, gross return, net return and cost : benefit ratio were highest with combination of organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer treatments (T10), followed by T9, T8 and T7. Increased improvement in cost : benefit ratio were observed with application of organic manures.
Key words :
