ABSTRACT
The organic inputs used were jeevamrut, dashparni, verticilliam, narkya-ud, magic solution, neem kadha, babhul kadha, heliokil and turmeric kadha. The cost of all organics applied was ` 8854.79. In the case of organic farms, per quintal cost of production of grapes has increased due to decline in yield by 58.41 per cent than that of inorganic farms. The per hectare net profit in grape production has loosened by organic farms than the inorganic farms. B:C ratio was observed to be 1.37 in case of organic farms, while it was 1.51 in respect of inorganic farms. The major problems in organic farming for grape production were risk of low productivity in the initial period complexity in the use of different inputs of organic farming high cost of vermicompost, biopesticides & high rates of vermiculture.
Key words :
