Abstract: The study was carried out at the prone area of different villages in Janjgir-Champa districts of Chhattisgarh. During 2009 and 2010, the Average pooled cost of IPM components involved with respect to paddy plant protection was ranged from Rs. 147.06to 3663.14.The maximum cost of the chemical practices (Rs. 3663.14) was recorded followed by cultural practices (Rs. 851.19) and minimum (Rs. 147.06) in biological practices with the cost of share was 82.73, 19.22and 3.32percent, respectively.Descending order of the average cost of different practicesof IPM components can be ranked as biological practices<physicalpractices<cultural practices<chemical practices.On the basis of information collected from the contact farmer through personal interview, some possible reasons comes out which may be the maximum respondentsuse of chemical practices on paddy cultivation which causes several problems such as development of insecticide resistance, environmental pollution and undesirable effects on non-target organisms.
Keywords: Cost of paddy cultivation, plant protection cost, cost of IPMcomponent, share of IPM cost
