To analyse the projection in area, production and productivity in major vegetable in Chhattisgarh plains and Chhattisgarh state

Abstract

Projection of area, production and productivity was made using the trend equation of area, production and productivity of the major vegetable crops underlying the assumption technology of vegetable production will remain unchanged upto 2050AD, keeping the existing trend of area in mind. Timely and trust worthy projection of vegetable production is crucial for the formulation of an effective marketing and vegetable policy. Therefore, in this section projection of area, production and productivity of vegetable based on trend equation of area, production and productivity for the seventeen years period i.e. from 2004-05 to 2020-21 was worked out for the different vegetable of Chhattisgarh plains and Chhattisgarh state. On the basis of the trends fitted, projections were made for area, production and productivity of vegetables under study with reference to three time periods i.e. Short term, medium term and long term.
