Abstract

                                Studies on the relative contribution of non-monetary inputs viz., variety, method of sowing, time of sowing, time of weed removal, in urdbean were conducted during kharif seasons of 1992 to 1994 to identify the priority component. Pooled data of three years revealed that improved weed management practice (weeding on 3rd week after sowing) was the important non-monetary input which resulted in increased yield. Next in the order was variety, method of sowing and time of sowing.

Key words : Non-monetary inputs, urdbean
