The paper has reported the difference of yield, market prices and returns of organic tomato production with that of inorganic production inKolar district. The study revealed that per ha average yield of tomatoes on organic farm (203.76q) was comparatively lower than that of inorganic farm (217.5q). The average per kg market price of organic tomatoes (Rs. 15.28) was found to be higher than that of inorganic tomatoes (Rs. 13.65).
