Agrochemicals based horticulture production system is neither sustainable nor eco-friendly. Cost effective organic production of horticultural crops is the need of the day to provide safe food to the consumers. In this regard, a field experiment was carried out in randomized block design with 3 replications on 18 years old trees of guava cv Allahabad Safeda in 2014 and 2015 at ICAR-Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Lucknow, India (26.9044 degrees N, 80.7654 degrees E). Seven organic farming treatments were selected as treatments, viz. T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7 for the study. Results indicated that T3 achieved maximum energy ratio (10.42 +/- 0.14), minimum specific energy (221.24 +/- 2.60 MJ/T) and maximum energy productivity (4.53 +/- 0.06 kg/MJ). Economic analysis of the production also indicated that that T3 achieved minimum input cost (825.87 +/- 9.70 (sic)/T) and resulted into maximum cost benefit ratio (12.14 +/- 0.16). Based on the study it is concluded that T3 was energy efficient and profitable practice among other organic farming practices.
