    (2007-02-08) Sairam, C.V.; Gopalasundaram, P.; Srinivasa Reddy, D.V.; Subramanian, P.; Umamaheswari, L.; Hegde, M.R.
    The cash flow analysis was performed for the coconut based intercropping systems under optimum management conditions for the period 1983-84 to 1996-97, involving banana, clove and pineapple as the inter/mixed crops. The variable capital requirements for adoption of the system ranged between Rs. 8,200/ha during 1984-85 to Rs. 40, 570/ha during 1996-97 for full dose of recommended fertilizers. This was mainly due to the increase in labour cost which alone contributed to 46-72% of the annual maintenance cost. The gross margin realized from the system ranged between Rs. -1,750/ha during 1983-84 to Rs. 92,230/ha during 1996-97. The capital requirement was marginally less when 2/3rd of the recommended fertilizers were applied. The Benefit Cost Ratio of the system was more than three for full as well as two-third level of fertilizers doses.

    (2007-02) Sairam, C.V.; Gopalasundaram, P.; Muralidharan, K.; George, M.V.; Hegde, M.R.; Umamaheswari, L.
    The estimated cost of cultivation of coconut based on 1995-96 prices, under optimum management conditions of North Kerala, ranges from Rs. 28,600/ha during the first year of planting to Rs. 23,450/ha during the stabilized bearing period. The same for irrigated condition ranges between Rs. 52,650 and Rs. 27,750/ha and the cost of production was estimated as Rs. 3.30/nut and Rs. 2.60/nut under rainfed and irrigated condition respectively
