A nursery is an area under supervision and designed to provide suitable conditions for juvenile cuttings until they are ready for main field transplantation. The main objective of all nurseries is to generate high quality saplings in sufficient numbers to satisfy the user needs. The present study was conducted to examine the economic viability of the nursery adopting both traditional and modern techniques like Mini clonal Technology of mulberry saplings generation. Analysis of various economic tools have shown that mulberry nurseries using mini clonal technology have an edge over traditional method of propagation. Economic tools used during study include net income and benefit cost ratio. The study showed that initial capital investment for mini clonal nurseries is high compared to traditional nurseries which can be recovered. The economic analysis revealed that entrepreneur involved in nursery business have obtained gross income of Rs.2,56,000/-using traditional technology and gross income of Rs.4,60,800/-using mini clonal technology. The net income of traditional nurseries and clonal nurseries are Rs.1,50,890/-and Rs.2,62,750/-(for first harvest) & Rs.3,18,270/-(from second harvest) respectively. The capital investment on clonal mulberry nurseries is highly viable due to high B:C ratio of 1:2.32 (for first harvest) & 1:3.23 (from second harvest) followed by traditional nurseries having B:C ratio of 1:2.43 is also considerably viable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
