Distribution of Crop Yields in The Arid Regions of Rajasthan

Abstract

Randomness, normality and year to year fluctuations in the yields of pearl millet and kharif pulses in western Rajasthan were studied using non-parametric tests, co-efficient of variation and probability of the crop yields as the tools of analysis. The analysis showed random distribution of yields, non - normal distribution in more than 50 per cent of the cases, very high probability of low yields and increasing tendency of fluctuations.
