Abstract
Rapeseed-mustard (Brassica species) is the third most important oilseed crop after
soybean and groundnut, contributing nearly 20-25 per cent of the total oilseed production in
the country. They occupy an important position next to groundnut both in area and
production. Rajasthan is the leading rapeseed mustard producing state in India while Uttar
Pradesh ranked at second place. Mustard is a major Rabi oilseed crop of India. Mustard
seeds are known by different names in different places sarson, rai or raya, toria or lahi.
Rapeseed has greater potential to increase the availability of edible oil from domestic
production despite the high quality of oilseed and its adaptability for various agro-climatic
conditions. The study was an attempt to examine the pattern of growth, instability, cost and
return of production of mustard crops at state and district level. The time series data for the
period 1981-1982 to 2019-2020 was collected from various published sources which were
further divided in to three sub periods. CAGR, coefficient of variation, cost and returns were
calculated for estimating, growth rate and instability in area, production and productivity in
mustard crop. The results revealed that the area, production and productivity was increasing
by 0.73, 2.49 and 1.75 per cent per annum during the overall period of Uttar Pradesh and in case
of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh area, production and productivity was increasing with a
compound growth rate of 2.94, 4.36 and 1.38 per cent per annum respectively. The instability
analysis indicated the highest variability in area of Bundelkhand with 47.3 per cent CV value and
17.3 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. The highest variability in production was observed in
Bundelkhand region with 78 per cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 33.6 per
cent CV value. The highest variability in productivity Bundelkhand region with 30.5 per
cent CV value and lowest in Uttar Pradesh with 23.6 per cent CV value. The total cost
cultivation per hectare was revealed to be Rs. 51695.00. Per hectare return from main product
was Rs. 50629.36. By product yielded Rs. 3113.69 per hectare. Net return obtained was Rs. 2048.05
per hectare.
