Abstract
Chilli is one of the most important and the largest produced spices. India is one of the largest producers, consumers and exporters of spices in the world. Indian chillies are known for their pungency and colour particularly grown in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh state. The present study was focussed on the assessment and comparing the resource use efficiency of chilli cultivation for IPM and non-IPM farmers in Andhra Pradesh. The results indicated that there was a positive relationship between IPM technology and the productivity of chilli. In case of IPM farmers the marginal value product to marginal factor cost ratio was observed to be more than one for organic manure, machine labour and chemical fertilizers which indicated that these inputs were underutilized.
