Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16 at the Horticulture Research farm, IGKV University, Raipur (C.G.). The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of Thirteen combination of different agro input management practices viz., treatments T₁ Coco peat, T₂ Black Soil, T₃Vermicompost (50%) +Coco peat (50%), T₄ FYM (50%) + Coco peat (25%) +Sand (25%), T₅ Coco peat (50%)+Sand (25%) + Black Soil (25%), T₆ Vermicompost (50%) + Black Soil (50%) T₇ Black Soil (50%) +FYM (50%), T₈ Black Soil (50%) +Paddy Husk (50%), T₉ Sand (50%)+FYM (25%) + Coco peat (25%), T₁₀ Black Soil (50%) + Vermicompost (25%) +Charcoal (25%), T₁₁ Black Soil (50%) +FYM (25%) + Sand (25%), T₁₂ Black Soil (50%) +Paddy husk (25%) +Vermicompost (25%), T₁₃ Laterite soil (50%) +FYM (25%) +Coco peat (25%). The maximum net profit/ha was recorded under treatment T₃ (Rs.47877.50) while minimum net profit/ha was obtained in treatment T₁₁ (Rs. 25955.50). The maximum gross profit/ha was recorded in treatment T4 (Rs. 74952.00) whereas, minimum gross profit/ha was recorded in treatment T9 (Rs. 53477.00). Thus, the maximum income (both gross and net) was obtained with T₃. The significantly maximum B:C ratio 1.76 was recorded under the treatment (T4). And the minimum B:C ratio 0.99 was recorded under the treatment (T8).
