Trend and Pattern of Three Major Crops in Haryana A Geographical Analysis 1Mr. Umed Singh, 2Dr. Rohtas Kumar 1Research Scholar, (Niilm University, Kaithal) 2Department Of Economics, (Niilm University, Kaithal) Abstract Agriculture plays very important role in Indian economy. Its determine the economy of Haryana. This paper bring out contrast on trend of three majors crops of Haryana, which are rice, wheat, Sugercane. The paper also compares the district-wise production of these crops of Haryana in 2017-18. This paper is based on secondary data of data collected from Statistical Abstract Haryana 2017-18. Data has been analyzed with the help of general statistical techniques. The study found that the area under rice and wheat is continuously increased however the area under wheat is decreased from 1966-67 to 2017-18. Yamunanagar have the highest production of sugarcane followed by Karnal and Kurukshetra. The highest production of wheat is recorded in Sims followed by Hisar. The highest production of rice is recorded in Kaithal, Kurukshetra, Fatehabad. Keywords: trend and pattern rice, wheat and sugarcane. Introduction Green revolution in India began in the 1967s, through the introduction of high-yield crop varieties and application of modern techniques and led to an increase in food production in India. Green revolution highly influences the agriculture of Haryana. In the recent years, commercial orientation of the state agriculture is associated with some specific crops as a result the area and production of some crops is increased especially of rice and wheat, which influence the area and production of other crops. In this paper, focus has been made on the trend of three major crops of Haryana from 1966-67 to 2017-18. These crops are rice, wheat, sugarcane. The district wise comparison of the production of these major crops of Haryana in 2017-18 is also focused in this paper. 1244 | P a g e Study Area The present study has been conducting in Haryana at district level. Map shows the location of Haryana in India. Haryana is a landlocked state in northern India. It is located between 27°37' to 30°53' N latitude and between 74°28' and 77°36' E longitude. The total geographical area of Haryana is 44,212 square kilometer. Haryana is a small State with 2.53 lack (Census of India 2011) populations. For administrative purposes, the State has been divided into 22 Districts. Objectives The present study has been carried to obtain following objectives: 1. To find out the trend in area and production of three crops (rice, wheat, and sugarcane) of Haryana from 1966-67 to 2017-18. 2. To compare the district-wise production of three major crops (rice, wheat, and sugarcane) of Haryana 2017-18. Location Map of Haryana 1245 | P a g e This study is based on secondary data, collected from Statistical Abstract Haryana 2017-18 and census of India 2011. Data has taken from 1966-67 to2017-18. A temporal analysis mentioned objectives. Data has been analyzed with the help of general statistical techniques and presented with the help of appropriate table and graph. Trend in area and production of major crops of Haryana Figure 1 represents the trend in area under major crops in Haryana in1966-67 to 2017-18. It clearly represents that the area under rice and wheat is continuously increases however the area under wheat and sugarcane is decreased from 1966-67 to 2017-18. Green revolution play very important role in production of crops in Haryana especially in production of rice and wheat . Figure 2 shows the trends in production of three major crops of Haryana from 1966-67 to 2017-18. It clearly shows that production of rice and wheat is mostly continuously increased from 1966-67 to 2017-18. On the other side the production of sugarcane is decline after 2005-06.

Pattern of rice, wheat and sugarcane in Haryana 2017-18. Table 1 represents the production of three major crops in Haryana in 2017-18. The pattern of three crops is as follows : 1247 | P a g e Table 1: Production of Rice, Wheat, and Sugarcane in Haryana 2017-18 District Production in 000Tonnes Rice Wheat Sugarcane Ambala 319 392 78 Bhiwani 63 519 25 Charkhi Dadari 0 259 0 Fridabad 33 141 8 Fatehabad 486 995 0 Gurugram 15 224 0 Hissar 186 1075 13 Jujjar 80 545 23 Jind 349 1056 38 Kaithal 552 861 38 Karnal 555 897 112 Kurukshetra 495 521 86 Mahendragarh 0 236 0 Nuh 23 338 0 Palwal 95 424 10 Panchkula 31 69 9 Panipat 198 419 58 Rewari 4 241 0 Rohtak 95 482 71 Sirsa 315 1547 0 Sonipat 264 744 70 Yamunanagar 295 399 183 Source: Statistical Abstract Haryana 2017-18 1. Sugarcane : In 2017-18 ,( Charkhi Dadri, Fatehabad, Gurugram, Mahendragarh, Nuh, Rewari, and Sirsa) have no production of sugarcane, whereas Faridabad, Panchkula, Palwal, and Hisar have low production. On the other side Yamunanagar have the highest production of Sugarcane followed by Karnal and Kurukshetra. 2. Wheat : Wheat is important crop of Haryana . In 2017-18 , the highest production of wheat is recorded in Sirsa(15,47,000 tonnes), followed by Hisar(10,75,000 tonnes) and Jind(10,56,000 tonnes). Whereas the lowest production is recorded in Panchkula (69,000 tonnes) ,because Panchkula capture lowest area under this crops than other districts. 1248 | P a g e 3.Rice : In 2017-18 (Charkhi Dadri , Mahendragarh) have no production of rice, whereas Rewari, Gurugram have low production. On the other side the highest production of rice is recorded in Karnal followed by Kaithal , Kurukshetra and Fatehabad. Conclusion It is found that area under rice and wheat is increased however the area under sugarcane is decreased from 1966-67 to 2017-18. It is also found that production of rice and wheat is mostly increased from 1966-67 to 2017-18. On the other side the production of sugarcane is decline after 2005-06. Yamunanagar have the highest production of sugarcane followed by Karnal and Kurukshetra. The highest production of wheat is recorded in Sirsa followed by Hisar. The highest production of rice is recorded in Karnal followed by Kaithal and Kurukshetra. References 1.
