It is cultivated on small scale, it contributes sizable share in total earning of the farmer. However, yields and profits from cabbage are uncertain. The gross cropped area was highest in large group i.e. 7.36 hectare followed by medium (4.61 ha) and small group (2.30 ha). The cropping pattern was dominated by cotton, soybean, tur and chilli in kharif season, wheat and gram was in rabi season, were as in summer season vegetable and other crops. The contribution of area under cabbage was 8.47 hectares, 6.70 hectares and 6.88 hectares by small, medium and large farmer, respectively. The per hectare total cost of cultivation (Cost C3) of cabbage was the highest in the large size group i.e. Rs. 69598.74 followed by medium size group Rs. 68699.07 and small size group Rs. 67198.59, respectively. At overall level cost C3 was Rs. 65507.32 per hectare. The benefit cost ratio of cabbage at cost 'C3' was 1.17 in small group, 1.24 in medium group and 1.18 in large group. In small, medium and large group, the regression analysis revealed that, the variable manures show significant at 1% level of significance. Producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was the highest in channel I i.e. 96.95 per cent.

dc.themeTheme : In Akola district cultivated area of cabbage is less as compared to other crops because of the climatic condition and most of the area of district is unirrigated. The demand of cabbage is increasing day by day and also it contributing sizable share in the total earning of cultivators. Insect pest infestation is one of the most limiting factors for accelerating yield potential of cabbage. The cabbage is also subjected to the attack of many pest affecting diamond black moth (DBM), aphid, stem borer, leaf webber. The aim of marketing is that the production should realize a suitable net returns from the produce. Improvement of marketing conditions unable the farmer to secure a share of a consumer’s rupee of almost importance.en_US
