Abstract:
The research study aimed to investigate and study the growth, instability and decomposition of pigeon pea. The data of area, production and productivity of pigeon pea pertaining to 30 years (1990 to 2023) were made available through the secondary source of economic and statistics division of ministry of agriculture and farmer’s welfare, government of India which was further analyzed using, coefficient of variation, exponential function, Cuddy Della Valle’s Index and decomposition analysis model. The results have shown that Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra along with Karnataka and Rajasthan have shown positive growth but other states have shown negative growth in area and production and productivity. Andhra Pradesh has shown high instability in all three period mainly in area and production only while Haryana has shown instability in area and production only in period II as same as Maharashtra have shown instability in area and production in period II. Decomposition analysis has shown that area effect was the most domination factor contributing in change in production of pigeon pea as compared to yield effect and interaction.
