Influence of area and yield on the production of Masoor in Chhattisgarh Plain

Abstract

Estimation of Area, Production and Yield of Masoor in Chhattisgarh plain and it’s constitute districts have been made. Based on this models predicted Area, Production and Yield for the future years 2013- 14 to 2022-23. The productivity of Masoor in Chhattisgarh plain and it’s constitute districts is expected to increase by the turn of this century, if its present growth trend is maintained. The partial compound growth rate of the area, production and productivity of the crop also be estimated and discussed. Periodic effects of five years as well as annual effects were found to be working in most of the districts. Based on postulated and estimated production function of area and productivity it was found that the major influent factor on the production of crop was its productivity. This influence of productivity was around 50% for the whole of Chhattisgarh plain and its constituting districts.
