Abstract: The present study is based on economic analysis of production and its utilization of crop residues of wheat with the objective to work out the production and its utilization of crop residues of wheat in the study area. The present study was conducted in Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh, India. Out of 10 blocks in the district, three blocks namely, Rajnandgaon, Khairagarh and Chhuikhadan, was selected purposively for the study.

The input-output ratio of paddy was (1:1.60). The total overall yield of mechanically and manually harvested wheat straw was estimated to be 5.11 (17.13%) and 24.75 (82.87) quintal per hectare respectively.
