Abstract:

Benefit cost ratio is an important factor which decides the optimum level of inputs to be used for maximization of production and returns in any crop. In the present study, the benefit-cost ratio was worked out for different concentrations of nano and conventional micronutrients (Fe and Zn) used in the study (T1- Nano ZnO @ 300 ppm, T2- Nano ZnO @ 200 ppm, T3- Nano FeO @ 300 ppm, T4- Nano FeO @ 200 ppm, T5- Bulk FeSO4 @ 0.2%, T6- Bulk ZnSO4 @ 0.2%, T7- Nano ZnO @ 300 ppm + Nano FeO @ 300 ppm, T8- Nano ZnO @ 300 ppm + Nano FeO @ 200 ppm, T9- Nano ZnO @ 200 ppm + Nano FeO @ 300 ppm, T10- Nano ZnO @ 200 ppm + Nano FeO @ 200 ppm, T11- Bulk ZnSO4 @ 0.2% + Bulk FeSO4 @ 0.2%, T12- control (Water spray)). The results revealed that T8- ZnO @ 300 ppm + FeO @ 200 ppm recorded maximum net returns (lakh Rs. 93.82 ha-1) with higher B:C ratio (1:3.68) whereas T12- control recorded minimum net returns (lakh Rs. 46.71 ha-1) with lower B:C ratio (1:1.85).
