Abstract

This paper analyses the trends in area, production and productivity of Rapeseed Mustard in India as well as Uttar Pradesh. India has the largest area and the highest production of mustard in the world. By using secondary data, a fifty-year time series has been used to apply orthogonal polynomial technique to get trends in area production and productivity. In order to know relative strength of area or productivity in production, Area and Productivity effect has been calculated with the help of simple regression analysis. To break the productivity, plateau the investment in technology up gradation and mechanization in the oilseed production, opening of better market avenues and improving the efficiency in the processing sector shall go a long way in augmenting the overall production and productivity. Key Words: Orthogonal Polynomial, Mechanization, Efficiency, Regression, productivity
