Abstract

The research work entitled “To study on the economics of red skinned and heat tolerant hybrids of potato” was carried out at Research cum Demonstration Farm, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur. The research material consisted of sixteen genotypes of potato. The seed tubers of the genotypes were taken from the “All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Potato, Department of Vegetable Science, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, (C.G.)”. In Exp I, Pooled data revealed that the maximum gross returns (551460 Rs/ha) was obtained in P-45 followed by Kufri Khyati (530460 Rs/ha) and Kufri Lima (524440 Rs/ha). Similarly, in Exp II, maximum gross returns (658140 Rs/ha) was obtained in Kufri Khyati followed by Kufri Lima (623700 Rs/ha) and P-48 (620200 Rs/ha). In Exp I, the maximum net returns (454159.23 Rs/ha) was obtained in P-45 followed by Kufri Khyati (433159.23 Rs/ha) and Kufri Lima (427139.23 Rs/ha). While, in Exp II, The maximum net returns (560839.23 Rs/ha) was obtained in Kufri Khyati followed by Kufri Lima (526399.23 Rs ha-1) and P-48 (522899.23 Rs/ha). The maximum b:c ratio (4.67) was obtained in P-45 followed by Kufri Khyati (4.45) and Kufri Lima (4.39) in Exp I. Moreover, in Exp II, maximum B:C ratio (5.76) was obtained in Kufri Khyati followed by Kufri Lima (5.10 and 5.41) and P-48 (5.37).
