Growth Dynamics and Decomposition Analysis of Pulses in Chhatarpur District, India: A Quantitative Study

Research has been conducted on the growth and decomposition analysis of major pulse crops in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh for 2011-12- 2022-23. The compound growth rate for that period was analyzed by applying the exponential function. It is observed from the study that the CAGR of the Black gram crop for area, production, and productivity increased at the compound growth rates of 34.08 %, 58.80%, and 18.84% respectively. In the case of the Gram crop area, production, and productivity increased by 1.92%, 20.35%, and 7.78% respectively. While CAGR of Pigeon pea crop in area and production decrease at the compound growth rate of -32.81 percent and -19.89 percent respectively, while productivity increases at the rate of 17.82 percent. After analysis of decomposition, it is observed that the productivity effect was the dominant factor in influencing the production of Gram and pigeon pea crops while growth in the production of Black gram was majorly influenced by the interaction effect.
