Abstract

Brinjal also known as Eggplant is the second most important solanaceous crop after tomato. This study was a modest attempt to estimate the area under cultivation of brinjal in Karnataka and also to estimate the demand for brinjal seedlings during 2019-20. In addition, this study has also tried to work out the economic feasibility of investment on nursery under shade net condition. The results indicated that the area under brinjal cultivation was estimated to be 17238 hectares and the demand for brinjal seedlings worked out to 23.94 crores in the state of Karnataka for the year 2019-20. The capital budgeting technique indicated that, the nursery entrepreneurs had invested 2,59,735/- towards setting up of nursery in an area of 1000m2 under shade net. Further the economic analysis pointed out that entrepreneurs have realised gross income of 2,74,540/- and net returns of 62,608/- per crop rotation The capital investment on brinjal nursery was found to be economically viable in terms of net present worth ( 1,21,723), benefitcost ratio (1.30) and Internal Rate of Return (89 per cent).
