In the present investigation, an attempt was made to study the decomposition and acreage response of pigeonpea in western Vidarbha. The study was based on time series secondary data on the rainfall, farm harvest prices and other data, which were obtained from various Government publications. Nerlovian lagged adjustment model (1958) was used in acreage response analysis based on time series data. The study revealed that the compound growth rate for area and production under pigeon pea was recorded high during period I in all the districts. During period II, the area, production and productivity of pigeonpea registered mostly negative growth rates in all the districts. During period III, the compound growth rate for area, production and productivity under pigeonpea has increased in all the districts of western Vidarbha region. At overall period, the coefficient of variation and Coppock's instability index for area, production and productivity were high for pigeonpea in Akola district compared to other districts and coefficient of variation and Coppock's instability index for production and productivity were lowest for pigeonpea in Amravati district. At overall period, in pigeonpea, the area effect (56.61%) was most responsible factor for increasing production in Amravati division with positive yield and interaction effect i.e. 18.91 per cent and 23.75 per cent respectively.
In the present investigation, an attempt was made to study the decomposition and acreage response of chickpea in western Vidarbha. The study was based on time series secondary data on the rainfall, farm harvest price and other data, which were obtained from various Government publications. Nerlovian lagged adjustment model (1958) was used in acreage response analysis based on time series data. The study revealed that the compound growth rate for area and production under chickpea was recorded high during period I in all the districts. During period II, the area, production and productivity of chickpea registered mostly negative growth rates in all the districts. During period III, the compound growth rate for area, production and productivity under chickpea has increased in all the districts of western Vidarbha region. During overall period, the co-efficient of variation and Coppock's instability index for area, production were high in Yavatmal district compared to other districts. At overall period, the area effect (37.44%) was most responsible factor for increasing production in Amravati division with positive yield and interaction effect i.e., 6.78 per cent and 55.69 per cent, respectively.
:The present study entitled, "Impact of farm pond's on farmer's economy in Amravati district: A comparative analysis. The study was undertaken to examine the impact of farm pond's on production of major crops. For the present study, 40 beneficiary farmers having farm pond's and 40 non-beneficiary farmer's without farm pond's on their field were selected from Morshi tahsils of Amravati district. 5 villages from Morshi tahsil were selected purposively and, from each village 8 beneficiary farmers and 8 non-beneficiary farmers were selected randomly. The selected farmers were classified into three category viz., small, medium, large according to their size of land holding. The primary data was collected from the farmers by survey method and standard costs concept i.e., cost 'A', cost 'B' and cost 'C' was used for the analysis of data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
