Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study economics of cost of cultivation of head yield of cabbage as influenced by different sources of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The experiment was laid in a randomized block design with three replications. Pooled data of two years showed seedling treatment with Trichoderma @ 5 gram per litre of water and soil application of Trichoderma @ 1.25 kg per hectare with compost @ 5 ton per hectare recorded maximum head yield 274.07 q/ha with the highest net return of Rs 2,74,819/ha. The highest B:C ratio obtained was 5.08. However, the second best treatment was seedling treatment with Trichoderma @ 10 gram per litre of water and soil application of Trichoderma @ 2.5 kg per hectare with compost @ 5 ton per hectare, which gave the highest net return up to Rs 2,47,523/ha while second highest B:C ratio (4.13) was obtained in recommended dose of fertilizers (N100:P60:K80). Economic studies indicated that seedling treatment with Trichoderma @ 5 gram per litre of water and soil application of Trichoderma @ 1.25 kg per hectare with compost @ 5 ton per hectare gave maximum net returns of 2,74,819 /ha with B:C ratio of 5.08 for cabbage head production.
