ThesisItem Open Access Comparative Analysis of Trend in Area, Production and Productivity of Lentil in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh(Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-22) Singh, Anand Pratap; Rai, Rahul KumarLentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is one of the very first crops that were domesticated and produced in the history of mankind and as of now, the importance of this crop remained static among the vegetarian population of the world. It stood in the second place among rabi pulses after chickpea in India, which is generally grown on residual moisture under a rainfed ecology. Bundelkhand region of U.P. and M.P. are considered lentil bowl which contributes nearly 25 percent to the total lentil production in the country. The mentioned period of study was from 1991 to 2021 and the study was carried out district-wise in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. There have been studies to examine the trends in lentil area, production and productivity. The compound growth rate was calculated for this purpose. For calculation of the degree of instability, the Coefficient of variation was calculated whereas the Area effect, yield effect and interaction effect were calculated for the relative contribution of acreage and yield in the growth of lentil production. The results discovered that growth in the area, production, and productivity of the Lentil crop in the Bundelkhand region registered negative growth and was found statistically insignificant. In instability analysis, variability in an area was estimated highest in Lalitpur (44.82) whereas the lowest variability was observed in the Banda district with 19.96 percent. In Production variability, Chitrakoot was highest with 56.66 percent and lowest in Banda with 36.50 percent; the highest variability in productivity was observed in Mahoba with 50.77 percent and lowest in Jalaun with 29.52. By the decomposition analysis, it was anticipated that area was one of the important factors in the overall development of lentil production with a convincing and parallel yield contribution.
