    Trends in Area, Production and Productivity of Sesame -An Inter District Analysis in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-11-11) Tripathi, Shyam Mani; Kalia, Abhishek
    Sesame is commonly known as the ‘seeds of immortality’ due to the presence of natural antioxidants such as sesamolin, sesamin, and sesamol, the seed contains 50-60 per cent oil with high stability. The crop's large root system allows it to withstand drought stress quite well, hence the area, production and productivity of sesame crop is higher in Bundelkhand region in comparison to other districts of Uttar Pradesh. The reference period of study was from 1989 to 2019 and study was carried out district wise in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Attempts have been made to examines the trends in area, production and productivity of sesame. Compound growth rate was calculated for this purpose. For calculation of extent of instability Coefficient of Variation and Cuddy Della Vella Index were calculated. Area effect, yield effect and interaction effect were calculated for the purpose of relative contribution of acreage and yield in growth of sesame production. The results revealed that the area and production of sesame in Jalaun marked significantly increasing trend with the compound growth rate of 0.17 per cent per annum and 0.20 per cent per annum respectively while in other districts of Bundelkhand it was observed stagnant and decreasing trend. Whereas productivity was in decreasing trend in all the seven districts of Bundelkhand. In case of Bundelkhand area, production and productivity of sesame marked stagnant growth with the compound growth rate of 0.07 per cent per annum, 0.09 per cent per annum and 0.02 per cent per annum respectively. The instability indicated the highest variability in area observed in Chitrakut with 125.45 CDVI value and lowest in Lalitpur with 38.53 CDVI value, highest variability in production was observed in Chitrakut with 181.7 CDVI value and lowest in Jalaun with 74.90 CDVI value, highest variability in productivity was observed in Jalaun with 53.45 CDVI value and lowest in Hamirpur with 32.39 CDVI value. Interaction effect on area and yield in the growth of sesame production was found highest in the major sesame producing districts of Bundelkhand.
