Abstract
An attempt has been made to compare the economics of cost of production in chilli for drip and conventional irrigation method in middle Gujarat. The data were collected from 120 green chilli producing farmer from 12 villages of 4 talukas of 3 district of middle Gujarat, out of that 60 drip irrigated farmers and 60 conventional irrigated farmers. The average total cost of cultivation for drip irrigation method and conventional irrigation method per hectare was about `124713 and `116411 respectively. The major portion for cost goes to cost of growth regulator, planting materials and manures and cakes which was about 124%, 68% and 45%, respectively. The net profit per hectare in drip irrigation system was `322265 while in case of conventional irrigation system it was `250111. The total cost of production (cost C 2 ) for drip and conventional irrigation methods were found `310.18 and `341.86 per quintal, respectively. The input output ratio for drip and conventional irrigation system was calculated on the basis of cost C 2 were found 3.58 and 3.15 respectively.
