Growth rates and instability in area, production and productivity of fenugreek in the state of Rajasthan

Abstract

Examined through a growth and instability in area, production and productivity of fenugreek in
the state of Rajasthan. Study confined to major fenugreek growing districts of Rajasthan. The data
were collected for the period 1985-86 to 2012-13 and analysed by using exponential production
function and instability index. All the selected districts showed significant growth rate in their
production. The area, production and productivity recorded no particular growth trend during
different FYPs. The magnitude of instability in production of fenugreek crop was due to high
instability in area than productivity. Yield variance was the major source of variance in production.
