ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the response of organic manures (FYM, Vermicompost), inorganic fertilizers (NPK), biofertilizers (Azotobacter and PSB) on the cost of cultivation of mango cv. Amrapali under high density orcharding. The economics of integrated nutrient management was concerned, application of 75% RDF + 20 kg Vermicompost + 250g Azotobacter + 250g PSB/plant registered maximum gross income (Rs1090410 and Rs1308346 ha-1), net return (Rs.874872 and Rs.1036240 ha-1), and cost : benefit ratio (1: 4.06 and 1: 3.08) as compared to other treatments. The minimum gross income (Rs. 387200 and Rs. 59832 ha-1), net return (Rs. 237493 and Rs. 407091 ha-1) and cost: benefit ratio (1: 1.59 and 1: 2.13) were estimated with recommended dose of fertilizers during 2010-11 and 2011-12.
Key word: Mango, NPK, PSB, Azotobacter, Vermicompost.
