Cotton is vital textile raw material, has an important role in the industry and trade of both, own country and the world with various areas for usage. This paper focuses on the growth economics of cotton cultivation in western Odisha. Due to lack of technological interventions inputs were under utilized by the farmers in the study area. Hence, there is no single farmer found to use the recommended doses of inputs. Such imbalance nutrient use lead to loss of nutrient, improper growth and reduced the yield level as compared to the potential. Thus it is use uneconomic to use imbalance nutrients. The inputs used for the cotton was below the recommendation. In the economic point of view farmers should allocate their more land resources in the cultivation of cotton than Sugarcane in study area.
