examined the Cobb-Douglas production function to highlight the various inputs impacts
on the yield of two major flowers: rose and marigolds and to highlight most productive
flower variety between marigolds and rose. A survey was carried out in the two villages of
district Peshawar (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) namely Shahab Kheil and Bazid Kheil in 2016.
Primary data was collected from 120 respondents randomly through well-designed
questionnaires. The allocation of sample size was made by proportional allocation method
in the selected villages. The mean revenue of marigolds and rose flowers was Rs. 140674
and Rs. 146174 respectively. t- Test was used for comparison of marigold and rose and
concluded that rose is more productive than marigold. In order to show input output
relationship COBB-DOUGLAS Production function was used and concluded that labour
(days), seed, fertilizer, tractor (hours) and pesticides are significant and irrigation
insignificant in case of marigolds, while in case of rose labour(days), seed and fertilizer
