About 423.31 mandays of labour employed only for pollen collection andpollination. The per acre total cost was found to be ` 2,30,771. Among variable costs, expenditure on human labour wasfound highest (59.10%). Average output obtained was 455.63 kg seeds per acre. The average selling price of seeds was` 983 per kg. per acre gross return, net return over variable cost and net return over total cost realised were ` 4,47,884,` 2,29,909 and ` 2,17,113 respectively. Cost of production was ` 506.49 per kg seeds. Return per rupee of expenditure was` 1.94. The output elasticities of human labour (1.71), seedlings (0.26) and irrigation (0.10) were significant. The coefficientof multiple determination (R2) was 0.88. An increasing return to scale was observed (Hbi=2.26). The MVP to MFC ratio wasfound to be highest in seedlings (61.05), followed by irrigation (24.40), FYM (9.99), human labour (5.64) and mulching (2.18).
