Abstract
The study throws light on the growth performance of different varieties of grape cultivation in the state of Karnataka across its districts and divisions. The state produces majorly four varieties of grapes, namely Bengaluru Blue, Anab-e-Shahi, seedless varieties and miscellaneous varieties. The area and production of all varieties of grapes observed positive and significant growth during the study period. The results revealed that the growth was positively significant in the area (7.23 per cent per annum), production (7.96 per cent per annum) and productivity (0.67 per cent per annum). The growth rate was highest in the case of the Belagavi division, followed by the Kalaburagi division. The highest rate of increase in the area and productivity of grapes was recorded in the case of the Chikkaballapura district. The values of instability indices for the area (6.73), production (13.72) and productivity (7.49) were comparatively lower, indicating their stability in the state. Further, the instability analysis indicated that the area and productivity of grapes in the Mysuru division were more unstable than in other state divisions.
