Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), also called as garden beet or table beet, is one of the major root vegetable. It is grown in almost all states of India but in small scale only. It produces green tops and a swollen root used both as vegetable and salad. It is highly productive and usually free from pests and diseases (Ado, 1999). A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2014 in alkali soils. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replicated 11 treatments viz., T1: FYM (100%), T2: Vermicompost (100%), T3: Neem cake (100%), T4: Poultry manure (100%), T5: Green manure (100%), T6: FYM (50%) + Vermicompost (50%), T7: FYM (50%) + Neem cake (50%), T8: FYM (50%) + Poultry manure (50%), T9: FYM (50%) + Green manure (50%), T10: RDF, T11: Control. The data were recorded on benefit-cost ratio of the crop. The highest benefit-cost ratio was recorded from T4 (4.1) with poultry manure (100%), which was at par with T8 (4.1) with FYM (50%) + poultry manure (50%), These two treatments were recorded significantly high benefit-cost ratio than all other treatments. Control treatment showed (2.1) lowest benefit cost ratio.
