The Nashik is the largest pomegranate growing district in Maharashtra. As well as, the pomegranate can be grown in diverse soil types such as coarse, medium and deep soils but the yield varies. In this context, the field survey data according to yield and soil types of pomegranate farms were collected from 10 tehsils of Nashik District of Maharashtra. The statistical analysis revealed that cost benefit ratio of pomegranate varied with soil types, in descending order medium (1: 2.72), shallow (1: 2.15), deep (1: 2.07) and very shallow soil (1: 1.77). It proves that well drained medium and shallow soils are most profitable natural sites for pomegranate cultivation.
