The research study is carried out to analyze the share of inputs among different factor of garlic production in Southern Rajasthan. Pratapgarh and Chittorgarh districts were selected on the basis of highest area under garlic cultivation in Rajasthan. The present study is based on primary data. The data was collected from the growers of garlic by personal interview method using pre-tested and suitably structured schedule. The results of this study revealed that seed contribution is highest among all factor of garlic production in Pratapgarh and Chittorgarh districts. Seed accounted 31.78 per cent of total garlic production in Pratapgarh district which was higher at medium farm as compared to small farm (31. 71 per cent) and large farm (31.49 per cent). Whereas, the contribution of seed is 28.70 per cent, 28.20 per cent and 27.37 per cent of total garlic production on small, medium and large farm in Chittorgarh district. It was higher at small farm than medium and large farm. The irrigation was the second key factor among all factors of garlic production in Pratapgarh and Chittorgarh districts. Irrigation shared 7.31per cent at small farm, 6.91 per cent at medium farm and 6.80 per cent of total production at large farm in Pratapgarh district. While, it accounted 6.73 per cent of total production in medium farm and followed by small farm and large farm i.e., 6.72 per cent and 6.25 per cent in Chittorgarh district. Total human labour and machine labour also important factor in garlic production which contributed 6.19 per cent and 3.73 per cent of total production in Pratapgarh district and 6.20 per cent and 3.54 per cent of total production in Chittorgarh district. Total human labour and machine labour were higher in small farm as compared to medium farm and large farm. Interest of fixed capital (0.21 per cent) and plant protection management (0.84 per cent) accounted lowest share among all factor of garlic production in Pratapgarh district. Whereas, there were 0.22 per cent and 0.76 per cent of total production in Chittorgarh district. These were higher in small farm as compared to medium farm and large farm. Apart from the above factors, manure, rental value of land, depreciation, fertilizer and interest on working capital are also having contribution in garlic production in Pratapgarh and Chittorgarh districts
