Overview

Evaluates the economic viability of GAP versus conventional methods in Sri Lankan vegetable farming, suggesting implications for improved practices.

Key Points

  • The research aims to compare the economic viability and agricultural performance of Good Agronomic Practices (GAP) and conventional methods in vegetable farming.
  • Conducted participatory field trials in two agroecologically distinct areas: Balangoda and Boralanda.
  • Evaluated crop yield, cultivation costs, and net income over two growing seasons for four vegetable crops.
  • Analyzed statistical significance (p-values) of crop performance metrics across seasons.
  • GAP resulted in higher yields and BCR for carrots and pole beans, with significant improvements in season two.
  • No significant differences in cabbage yields were found in season one, but GAP showed higher yields in season two.
  • GAP consistently used fewer chemical inputs compared to conventional methods.
