The research work was conducted to determine the economic return with integrated use of manure and fertilizer on cabbage cultivation as main and ratoon crop. The highest total gross return (Tk. 181365 ha-1) were obtained from T11 treatment with cowdung (3.75 t ha-1), mustard oil cake (0.65 t ha-1) and poultry manure (2.13 t ha-1) plus N130 P28 K108 kg ha-1 i.e. 1/4 (CD + MOC+PM+NPK) in both main and ratoon crop. While the lowest total gross return (Tk. 69610 ha-1) was found in control treatment. The treatment T11 was economically profitable than other treatment in respect of net return (Tk. 91648 ha-1 and Tk. 25953 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.79 and 3.08) for main and ratoon crop, respectively. Total net return (Tk. 117601 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.84) were also found to be higher in T11 treatment. While the lowest total net return (Tk. 17993 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (1.33) were recorded in control (T0) treatment.
