Poly house is an alternative technique in Indian Agriculture for vegetable cultivation. The need to protect the crops against unfavourable environmental conditions led to the development of protected agriculture. The present study examined the economic feasibility of Cucumber and Yard long bean in a naturally ventilated 400sq.m. poly house. Data were generated by cost accounting method from the year 2015-2016 .The economic feasibility of investment on production of Cucumber and Yard long Bean under poly house was evaluated using Project evaluation methods, especially benefit measurement methods such as Benefit-cost ratio (B-C ratio), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). Cultivation of Cucumber and Yard long bean under poly house with initial investment emerged as a profitable and economically viable option to increase the farmers' income, but it is more feasible and profitable when subsidy is added to the production of both cucumber and Yard long bean.

The study was conducted in north zone of Haryana (India) state to find out the economic analysis of cucumber cultivation under polyhouse and open field condition. The primary data was collected by personal interview of the selected respondents with the help of well-designed and pre tested schedule. Simple statistical tools like average and percentage were used to calculate the economics of the crop. In the present study, it was found that the cost of cultivation of cucumber per acre under polyhouse was Rs. 283684.40 while in case of open field condition it was Rs. 98003.39. In case of production and net returns, it was higher per acre in polyhouse; 245.47 quintal and Rs. 97138.68, respectively. Present study concluded that yield and income of farmers can be increased with help of polyhouse technology in case of cucumber cultivation.

: In the present paper an attempt has been made to study the comparative economics of cucumber cultivation under polyhouses and open field conditions in Haryana.The overall findings of the study reveal that the cost of cultivation of cucumber under polyhouses was higher by ₹185681/acre as compared to open field conditions. At the same time, the net returns under polyhouses were higher by ₹97138.68/acre. The results of the study also revealed that the cucumber cultivation under polyhouses has significantly contributed to the yield.

The agriculture investment decision affected by risk of capital and operation cost, yield and sale price of planted crops. This study examined risk of investment in green-house cucumber and tomato production and optimum mix of crop pattern at Al Batinah, Al Sharqiya Regions of Oman. The net present value with Monte Carlo simulation models are used to test risk efficiency and project viability. The result indicated that investment in two green-houses and growing one tomato crop and two cucumber crops (Tom1Cuc2) per year is more profitable and risk aversion. Stochastic Efficiency with Respect to a Function (SERF) performed and confirmed that (Tom1Cuc2) is the most risk efficient cropping system and got a positive NPV with 62% probability followed by growing tomato crop in two seasons with a positive NPV with probability of 58%. The study concluded tomato and cucumber producers are faced with different production and financial situations and their risk preferences play an important rol.

This research examines solution to overcome the problems of opposition to growing vegetables under protected cultivation, This particular example was chosen to illustrate several important aspects of greenhouse production and marketing that affect profitability such as high prices of vegetable seeds, high prices of materials used in the sterilisation (methyl bromide gas), high prices of plastics in addition to low quality and short duration of use, etc. The study depended on Bossali protected agriculture unit as example of application to measure the performance and efficiency of production and revenue during the period 1994-2006. Using the traditional system of protected cultivation, compared with a new system of performance and management of production processes, depends on the cultivation of some fruit crops under protected cultivation during the period 2007-2015. The study analysed the structure cost of production per greenhouse also discussed some economic indicators such as: farm gate prices, total revenue, total costs and net return of cucumber and sweet pepper (as example for vegetables) and navel orange and keitt mango (as example for fruits). This enterprise budget illustration indicates a lack of profitability of this greenhouse vegetable enterprise using these particular assumptions regarding cost, price, and total revenue. Results revealed that net return reached 1234, 3466 Egyptian pound (LE)/greenhouse (540 m 2) in navel orange and keitt mango respectively during the study period.

Cucumber is a warm season crop grown widely in India and can be fitted very well in to a number of crop rotation of vegetable and non vegetable crops. For conducting this research sixty respondents were randomly selected by using multistage stratified random sampling. The objective of the present research was to work out cost and returns of cucumber cultivation. Per hectare, average cost of cultivation of cucumber was observed Rs.5520.68. The cost of cultivation was higher on medium farms (Rs.7327.14) followed by marginal, small and large farms. Per hectare gross income was maximum on large farms (Rs.121517.31) followed small (Rs.73304.35) marginal (Rs.51513.16) and medium (Rs.46482.11). Per hectare average gross income on overall farms observed to Rs.90016.26. Other average income measures like net income, farm business income, family labour income and farm investment income were Rs.84495.58, 85405.82 & 85046.14 respectively. The study revealed that cucumber cultivation is a lucrative to the farmers of Sultanpur district of U.P, as well as, round the country.
