Abstract: The objective of present study was to compare the costs and returns of grafted and non grafted tomatoes in 250 m2 polyhouse. The experimental trials were conducted for two consecutive years (2016-17 and 2017-18) in the Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur. Total sixteen different rootstocks and one non-grafted Scion ‘GS-600’were used. The experiment was laid- out in randomized block design (RBD) along with three replications. The study revealed that grafted plants grown under protected conditions resulted in higher benefit: cost ratio than non-grafted ones. The net returns of grafted tomato production was increased by Rs. 210.47 /m2 during 2016-17 (with benefit-cost ratio of 5.32) and Rs. 211.36 /m2 ( with benefit-cost ratio of 5.42) in 2017-18 as compared to non-grafted tomato which were Rs. 103.76 /m2 ( with benefit-cost ratio of 4.52) during 2016-17 and Rs 104.65 /m2 ( with benefit-cost ratio of 4.67) during 2017-18.
