Description An attempt has been made to understand growth in production and area under cultivation of coconut and arecanut crops in Tumkur district. In order to analyse the growth trends in area and production of coconut and arecanut crops, the secondary data from Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Karnataka for the period 1981-2009 were utilized.
The results indicated that the cubic polynomial explains the production and productivity under coconut, whereas linear growth was observed in area under coconut. The linear models were suitable for explaining growth in area and production of arecanut crop during the study period, whereas the productivity showed no/ negligible change. In order to analyse the growth trends in both the crops, decade wise analysis was carried out. Decomposition analysis revealed that during the first decade of study period, area under coconut crop was the factor, whereas in the third decade both increase in area and productivity were factors for increase in production. Coconut production during the second decade had very little variation. Multiple regression analysis was carried out to envisage the influence of rainfall on the production, considering the rainfall of different periods. It was observed that the rainfall during June-Sept has a significant effect on production of both coconut and arecanut crops. An attempt has also been made in the study to understand the association of rainfall pattern on productivity of coconut based on a contingency table developed using cluster analysis technique. It clearly depicted the productivity variations for different annual rainfall patterns
