Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the comparative economics of rejuvenated and non-rejuvenated mango orchards in south Konkan region of Maharashtra. The study was undertaken with a sample of 80 mango growers selected randomly out of which 40 farmers were among the rejuvenated group and 40 were among non-rejuvenated mango growers. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) was 0.9642 in rejuvenated orchards indicated that 96.42 per cent variation in mango production was explained by variables included in the function. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) in case of non-rejuvenated orchards was 0.9129 indicated that 91.29 per cent variation in mango production was explained by variables included in the function. Ratios of MVP/FC were more than unity in case of manure, urea, single super phosphate and sulphate of potash indicating the scope of expanding the use of these inputs. But the expenditure on other variables such as Cultar (Paclobutrazol), plant protection chemicals and human labour needs to be curtailed in the both groups. The resource use efficiency for rejuvenated and non-rejuvenated mango orchards revealed that mango growers needs to be given adequate technical knowledge for resource management and their optimum use. The mango farmers can increase their profitability in mango production by proper reallocation of resources.
