IMPACT OF INSECTICIDES ON YIELD AND ECONOMICS OF SUNFLOWER SEED PRODUCTION IN NEW ALLUVIAL ZONE OF WEST BENGAL
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 41
Abstract
The current investigation was piloted to evaluate yield and economics in sunflower seed production of different insecticidal treatment schedules in New Alluvial Zone of West Bengal. The experiment was conducted for two consecutive seasons of 2012-13 and 2013-14 at the Instructional farm at Jaguli, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV), Nadia, West Bengal, India.The results revealed that yield and Benefit: Cost ratio of sunflower seed production was recorded highest in T4 followed by T3, T2, T1, T5, T6 and T7 respectively. It was observed that highest cost of production for seed yield (Rs. 17119.6 and Rs. 17460.6 respectively) were observed in the treatment T4, T1 and T2. Maximum gross income (Rs. 35875 and Rs. 32875 respectively) were recorded in the treatment T4 and T3. However, maximum net returns for sunflower seed production (Rs. 18755 and Rs. 15644 respectively) and benefit: cost ratio (2.10:1 and 1.91:1 respectively) were found in treatment T4 and T3. Thus, it can be advised that T4 (seed treatment imidacloprid @ 5 g/kg of seed followed by lambda cyhalothrin 10 EC @ 1 ml/lit on 30 DAS followed by chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 2.5 ml/lit 60 DAS) was found most lucrative and economically feasible in New alluvial Zone of West Bengal.
