    COMPARATIVE ECONOMICS OF PIGEON PEA CULTIVATION IN BUNDELKHAND REGION OF U.P. AND UTTAR PRADESH
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-26) Kumar, Vikas; Gautam, Yash
    Pigeonpea also known as Arhar, tur, and red gram is one of the important pulse crops grown in different parts of India. It belongs to family leguminosae, originated in India. This is the second largest pulse crop next only to chickpea crop. It is a multipurpose drought-tolerant crop that produces seeds for human consumption as a low-cost protein source. Plant’s green leaves and tops make excellent fodder and can also be used as green manure. The study was an attempt to examine the pattern of growth, instability and the cost and return of production of pigeon pea at state and district level. The time series data for the period 1980-81 to 2019-20 was collected from various published sources which was further divided into four sub periods. CAGR, coefficient of variation, cost and returns were calculated for estimating, growth rate and instability in area, production and productivity in pigeon pea cultivation. The results revealed that the area, production and productivity was declining with a compound growth rate of -1.89, -3.041 and -1.174 per cent per annum during the overall period of study of Uttar Pradesh and in case of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh area, production and productivity was declining with a compound growth rate of -0.6, -2.81 and -1.95 per cent per annum respectively. The instability analysis indicated the highest variability in area in Uttar Pradesh with 22.5 per cent CV value and 22 per cent for Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The highest variability in production was observed in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh with 42.58 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 37 per cent CV value. CV in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh was 31 per cent and 19.7 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. The total cost of cultivation per hectare was revealed to be Rs. 47331.47. Per hectare return from main product was Rs. 39581.21. By product yielded Rs. 7682.69 per hectare. Keyword.
