Abstract
The present study aims at dealing with present status of protected structures, costs and returns of
vegetables in these structures, marketing pattern of vegetables and constraints related to yield and marketing
of vegetables. For the present study, three districts from Haryana state were selected i.e. Hisar, Karnal and
Sonepat. From each district, 60 farmers were purposively selected which constituted a total sample of 180
farmers. In Haryana, mainly three types of protected structures are found. In every structure cucumber,
capsicum and tomato vegetable were grown by the farmers. The total area under different types of protected
structures in Haryana during the year 2017-18 was 757.80 ha. The findings of the study indicated that in
naturally ventilated polyhouse the highest total cost incurred on cucumber in Sonepat was ₹732732.07/ha.
Higher yield of cucumber was found in Hisar (1041.37q/ha). The gross returns from cucumber was highest
from Sonepat ₹1106290.79/ha. Benefit-cost ratio was highest recorded in Hisar 1.56. In net house highest total
cost incurred on cucumber in Karnal ₹570140.49/ha. Higher yield of cucumber was also found in Karnal
988.42 q/ha. The gross returns from cucumber was highest from Sonepat ₹995040.42/ha. Benefit-cost ratio
was highest recorded in Sonepat 1.74. In walk-in-tunnel structures highest total cost incurred on cucumber in
Sonepat was ₹673334.71. Higher yield of cucumber was found in Hisar 967.84 q/ha. The gross returns from
cucumber under walk-in-tunnel was highest from Sonepat ₹1047062.1/ha. Benefit-cost ratio was highest
recorded in Hisar 1.58. The findings of the study indicated that in naturally ventilated polyhouse, highest total
cost was incurred on capsicum in Sonepat (₹849261.06/ha). Higher yield of capsicum was found in Karnal
(957.53 q/ha). The gross returns from capsicum was highest from Karnal ₹1436300.03/ha. Benefit-cost ratio
was highest recorded in Karnal 2.00. In net house the highest total cost incurred on capsicum in Karnal
₹642475.50/ha. Higher yield of capsicum was found in Karnal 766.02 q/ha. The gross returns from capsicum
was highest from Hisar ₹1186105.83/ha. Benefit-cost ratio was highest recorded in Hisar 1.92. In walk-intunnel
the highest total cost incurred on capsicum in Hisar was ₹768638.83/ha. Higher yield of capsicum was
found in Sonepat 879.69q/ha. The gross returns from capsicum was highest from Sonepat ₹879.69/ha. Benefitcost
ratio was highest recorded in Hisar 1.54. The finding of the study indicated that in naturally ventilated
polyhouse the highest total cost incurred on tomato in Hisar ₹814093.89/ha. Higher yield of tomato was found
in Karnal 864.87q/ha. The gross returns from tomato was highest from Karnal ₹1210816.37/ha. Benefit-cost
ratio was highest recorded in Karnal 1.63. In net house the highest total cost incurred on tomato in Hisar
₹603706.049/ha. Higher yield of tomato was found in Hisar 710.43q/ha. The gross returns from tomato was
highest from Hisar ₹959077.76/ha. Benefit-cost ratio was highest recorded in Hisar 1.59. The producer’s share
in the consumer’s rupee was highest in channel-III (producer to consumer) in all markets Marketing efficiency
also showed that the channel III is the most efficient marketing channel. Major yield constraints in Hisar,
Karnal and Sonepat were high attack of insect pest & diseases and nematode problem while irrigation and low
and imbalance fertilizer was least faced problems. Major marketing constraints in all districts was lack of
minimum support price and too much fluctuations in prices.
