ABSTRACT
The study was conducted Irrigated North Western Plain Zone 1b of Rajasthan in agricultural year 2012-13. This zone covers about 80 percent of the total area of cotton in the state. The study focused on the efficiency of resource use. Two villages namely 4C and Mirjawala were selected from Sri ganganagar tehsil of the zone. Sixty farmers were selected at random in proportion to the total number of farmers in each size group from the list of Bt cotton farmers group and similarly another 60 farmers were selected from American cotton farmers group. The Cobb Douglas production function, revealed that the Bt cotton farmers were underutilized seed and human labour inputs, where as American cotton farmers were underutilized fertilizer.
Key word: MVP/MFC, Resource use efficiency, Bt. cotton, American cotton.
