Abstract

Input-output data on farm trails of three most popular pea varieties of eastern Uttar Pradesh cultivated under low cost input like biofertilizer were collected during2002-03 2003-04 from the experimental field of the Indian Institute of vegetable Research Varanasi, The highest yield and benefit ratio per unit input ratio was found when the crop was cultivated under pressmud@5t/ha with seed treated by Rhizobium plus soil application of PSB.A return ratio of 2.8rupees per rupee invested was realized in fresh vegetable pea and pea seeds under pressmud with biofertilizer which accounted net profit of 180% to 190%. Maximum net return and cost benefit ratio 1: 3.2 was realized in Arkel when market as fresh vegetable. Maximum net return and cost benefit ratio was obtained when pea grain was marketed.
