Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Cotton Research Unit of Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during kharif 2005-06 in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments. The main objective was to study the impact of organic manuring with biopesticidal control on yield and economics of rainfed cotton. Significantly highest yield of seed cotton than all other treatments was recorded in treatment T7 (recommended dose of fertilizer+chemical control) followed by T2 (FYM+biopesticidal control). Maximum gross and net monetary return and cost:benefit ratio were obtained in T7 (recommended dose of fertilizer+chemical control). In organic manuring treatments, maximum net monetary return and cost: benefit ratio were obtained in neem cake followed by FYM and vermicompost. In all the three organic manuring treatments, the cost:benefit ratio was more in biopesticidal control as compared to chemical control, whereas in recommended dose of fertilizer, cost:benefit ratio was more in chemical control as compared to biopesticidal control
