ABSTRACT
Contribution of different factors responsible for the increase of sorghum production viz fertilizer, insecticide and weed control were studied in Kharif 1998 and 1999 under agro-climatic conditions of D.I.Khan (NWFP). The investigation measured the average maximum gap between the farmer`s practices and that of improved practices as 2058Kg ha -1, showing an increase of 136 percent over that of farmers practices. The highest share was contributed by fertilizer 45.29 percent followed by insecticide 41.71 % and weed control 12.91 %. The highest net return and value cost ratio (VCR) of Rs.5202 ha -1 and 1:2.26, respectively were found for fertilizer. The minimum net return of Rs.922 ha -1 was obtained for weed control.
