The data related to area, production and yield of rice, wheat and total foodgrains in Haryana and India for the years 1966-67 to 2012-13 were collected from Statistical Abstract of Haryana, Statistical Abstract of India and Agricultural Situation in India. Keeping in view the importance of rice, wheat and total foodgrains in Haryana and India, the study was planned (i) To examine the trend and instability in area, production and productivity of rice, wheat and total foodgrains in Haryana and India and (ii) To compute the growth rates of area, production and productivity of rice, wheat and total foodgrains in Haryana and India. The study revealed positive trends in area, production and yield of rice, wheat and total foodgrains for both Haryana and India. The production of rice in Haryana and India increased mainly due to increase in area whereas for wheat production, the contributions of area and yield are comparable. For total foodgrains production yield is mainly responsible. Similar results are obtained on triennium bases. Area, production and yield of rice crop have shown positive growth rates in Haryana during entire study period and five sub-periods and except for the yield in Period- V. The overall trend in production of rice crop for India was found to be similar to that of Haryana, yield has shown positive growth rates during the entire study period and five sub-periods while negative growth rates were observed in area under the rice crop during Period- IV and V. For wheat crop, all the three aspects (i.e. area, production and yield) have shown positive growth rates in Haryana while in case of India, positive growth rates were observed for both area and production except in Period- IV. Trend of yield in India was similar to that of Haryana. In Haryana, area, production and yield have shown positive growth rates for total foodgrains in all the periods and the overall period except for area in Period-III, IV and V and the overall period. In case of India positive growth rates were obtained for production and yield of total foodgrains while area has shown negative trend in Periods III, IV, V and entire period under study. The production of rice in Haryana and India increased mainly due to increase in area whereas for production of wheat, the contribution of area and yield are comparable. For total foodgrains production, the yield was found to be mainly responsible for both at the state level and at country level.enProductivity, Area, Yields, Biological development, Wheats, Rice, Crops, Economic growth, biological phenomena, wellsThesis
