Description The Present study entitled “A STUDY OF TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN
AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF CERTAIN IMPORTANT
HORTICULTURAL CROPS IN ANDHRA PRADESH” has been undertaken to
estimate the growth rates of the selected important horticultural crops viz: Tomato,
Brinjal (vegetable crops) Mango, Citrus, Banana, Guava (Fruit crops) Coconut,
Cashew nut (Plantation crops) and to fit the adequate trend equation for the future
projections by 2010 AD.
The reference period of study was from 1991-92 to 2002-03 and the study
was carried for Andhra Pradesh state as a whole.
Linear and Compound growth rates were calculated to examine the trends in
area, production and productivity of selected horticultural crops. Ten growth models
were fitted to the area, production and productivity of selected crops and the bestfitted
model for future projection was chosen based upon least Residual Mean Square
(RMS) and significant AdjR2. Besides, the important assumption of randomness of
residuals was tested using one sample run test.
The study revealed that the area and production of tomato marked a
significant increasing trend whereas the productivity exhibited negative trend. Brinjal
also showed significant increasing trend in area, production and insignificant positive
trend in case of productivity. In case of mango, there was a substantial increase in
area rather than in production and productivity. Banana, citrus and guava too
exhibited a significant increasing trend in area, production and productivity and the
same was observed in future projections by 2010 AD. It was revealed from
increasing production of coconut that it was attributed by increasing area. In case of
Cashew nut, a significant upward trend in area and non significant upward trend in
production with negative trend in productivity was observed.
