Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken in Rajasthan state with a view to study about growth rate, yield variations and
identify the constraints in obtaining the potential yields of rapeseed-mustard. Out of 33 districts, there were 10 districts
which are high in area and production of mustard-mustard. Area of rapeseed-mustard experienced negative growth rate
during period I (1998-99 to 2005-06) while positive growth rate during period II (2006-07 to 2006-14) and period III
(2014-15 to 2021-22). Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of area was registered 1.0 % during overall period of
study which was significant at 5 % level of significance. During period I area was declined to -3.1 % while period II
achieved highest growth rate of 3.1 %. Area and production of rapeseed-mustard during 1992-93 were 2.22 mha and
1.71 mt, respectively. Whereas in 2005-06 finding showed that the area was significantly decreased to 3.55 mha and
production increased to 4.38 mt in comparison to previous year. In 2021-22 area slightly increased to 4.17 mha and the
production reached to 7.16 mt.
