Abstract
Lentil (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.
