Abstract
The study based on secondary data (1949-50 to 1984-85) was undertaken to-examine the linear and compound growth rates and acreage response of groundnut crop in Gujarat State as also in the five major groundnut growing districts viz., Amreli, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh and Rajkot of Saurashtra region. Simple regression technique for growth pattern and multiple regression technique for acreage response were used. The linear growth rates and compound growth rates of area, production and productivity of groundnut for Sujarat were higher during 1949-50 to 1965-66 over 1965-66 to 1984-85 and the production increased due to increase in the area. Amreli and Bhavnagar districts showed increase in production and productivity but Rajkot district did not show any response in area, production and productivity.
