| dc.description.abstract | A study on economic analysis of tomato cultivation under different growing methods is carried out under Centre for Agribusiness Management, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand with the following objectives. 1. To study the economics of tomato cultivation under different growing methods. 2. To recommend the best growing practice for tomato cultivation. The different growing methods considered in this study are conventional farming, drip irrigation with fertigation, drip with fertigation under plastic mulch and polyhouse cultivation. The production & quality of tomato production is affected by genetic material, agronomical management and environment management. The availability and efficient utilization of irrigation water is very essential to make the crop production sustainable. The drip irrigation technology is used for enhancing water use efficiency and increasing the yield of any crops. Under conventional farming the fertilizer use efficiency is very low but using water soluble fertilizer with drip system enhances the fertilizer use efficiency and helps in enhancing the yield of crop. The environmental condition such as soil temperature, air temperature, light intensity, relative humidity etc. affects the tomato yield and its quality. The plastic mulching is well established technology in vegetable cultivation which helps in modifying soil temperature with other added benefit. The polyhouse cultivation helps in controlling/modifying soil temperature, air temperature, light intensity, relative humidity etc. and enhancing the productivity of tomato. The best cultivation practice for tomato as per financial analysis is found to be Drip Fertigation with Plastic Mulch (BCR - 3.63, PBP - 5 months and NPW - 365981.77). The farmers should adopt drip irrigation with fertigation initially and progressively plastic mulching should be used to get better benefit. The polyhouse cultivation is capital intensive and requires right kind of skill set to get the maximum benefit. The analysis shows that the PB period and BC Ratio is low but it can be enhanced by cultivating off season crops to realize the better price because the economics of cultivation (NPW, BCR, and PBP) depends upon decreasing input cost and increasing the selling price of the crop. | en_US |
