The main objective of the study is to estimate growth and instability in area, production and Agriculture, Parbhani, productivity of chickpea. The growth and instability in area, production and productivity of chickpea was Maharashtra, India achieved by estimating growth rates. The linear and compound growth rates of chickpea were worked out for the period of 2001-02 to 2015-16 by using time series data. The compound growth rates of area, RD Shelke production and productivity of chickpea was worked out by using exponential function. To measure the Department of Agricultural instability in area, production and productivity, an index of instability was used as a measure of Economics, College of variability. Coppock’s instability index was use to measure the coefficient of instability. The instability Agriculture, Parbhani, index developed by Cuddy and Della was also be used for estimating instability index. Maharashtra, India The growth of area under chickpea showed mixed trend in the period of study i.e. from 2002 – 2016. It clearly observed from the study that deviation in area from year to year was observed and it might be due to the climatic factors and dry spells in the region. At an overall period of study, the least instability was observed in Parbhani district, while highest instability was observed in Hingoli. It is concluded from the above discussion that all districts of Marathwada region was failed to achieve the stability in production of chickpea. In case of productivity, at an overall period of study, the least instability was observed in Parbhani district while highest instability was observed in Hingoli. Thus, from the above discussion it is concluded that all districts of Marathwada region was failed to achieve the stability in productivity of chickpea. Keywords: Growth and instability, chickpea, proteins, vitamins and minerals Introduction Pulses are the important sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and are popularly known as “Poor man’s meat” and “rich man’s vegetable”, contribute significantly to the nutritional security of the country. Currently, we are in the mid-way of self-sustaining in pulses production as we are world leader in production, consumption and import as well. India accounts for about 29 per cent of the world area and 19 per cent of the world’s production with 25.26 million hectares’ area and production of 16.47 million tonnes. According to Indian Institute of Pulses Research’s Vision document, India’s population is expected to touch 1.68 billion by 2030 and the pulse requirement for the year 2030 is projected at 32 million tons with anticipated required annual growth rate of 4.2%. The average productivity of pulses in the country is 781 kg/ha, which is much below the world’s productivity of 871 kg/ha. Thus, the productivity and production of pulses has remained more or less stagnant for last four decades. Slight increase is observed during last five years showing the impact of National Food Security Mission. Objective The main objective of the study is to estimate growth and instability in area, production and productivity of chickpea. Methodology Estimation of growth rates The growth and instability in area, production and productivity of chickpea was achieved by Corresponding Author: estimating growth rates.

The growth rates were Maharashtra state estimated for mentioned period of the study. Results of the Compound growth rates of production of chickpea in study are presented in following section. Marathwada region was analyzed and is presented in Table 2. The results revealed that in Aurangabad district growth of Results and Discussion production was positive to the tune of 6.55, 4.80 respectively Growth in area of chickpea crop in Marathwada region of but declined in period-II than Period-I. During period III and Maharashtra state overall it was negative and significantly declined to the tune Compound growth rates of area under chickpea in of -4.52 and -1.12 respectively. Jalna district showed negative Marathwada region was analyzed and is presented in Table growth trend of chickpea production except in period -II 1.The results revealed that inconsistent growth in area under which was to the tune of 11.58 per cent, which means the chickpea. In Aurangabad district growth shown negative trend production of chickpea during study period was inconsistent in area to the tune of -1.76 per cent during Period-I while in and declining. During Period-I and period-II production of Period-II and Period-III it was positive and significant with Beed, Latur, Osmanabad and Nanded was observed positive 4.33 per cent and 6.36per cent respectively. At Overall the and mixed trend as 19.73, 9.59, 13.65 and 14.16, 10.10, 7.96 growth of area was positive but showed the decline trend respectively. Production of Latur declined in period-II, which tuned to 0.51 per cent. In Jalna district the area under Osmanabad showed increased trend and Nanded showed chickpea in all the periods shown positive trend with1.84, decreasing trend in Period-II. In case of period -III Beed, 11.65, 9.14,5.31 per cent respectively, which indicated that Latur, Osmanabad, Nanded showed negative and declining the area increased in period -II over period -I again declined trend to the tune of -3.33, -28.79, -8.58, -25.76, -25.01 in period-III and overall period but positive and significant at respectively. Growth rates of production of chickpea in 1 per cent level. In Beed district it is observed that area under Hingoli district was positive in Period-I, negative in period-II chickpea was positive in all the periods’ i.e 10.10, 11.87, and positive in period-III and overall period to the tune of 17.76 and 8.00 per cent respectively. Trend shows that area 11.05, -4.01, 12.09 and 13.08 respectively. This means that was significant in Period-III and overall period at 5 per cent the production was decreased in period-II, increased in period and 1 per cent respectively with increase in period II, III but in period-III and significantly increased during overall period declined at overall level. The growth rates of Latur district at 1 per cent level. As regards whole Marathwada region the were observed to be 10.24, 9.45, 3.11, and 5.92 during period- growth of production of chickpea was non-significantly I to overall period. Area of chickpea in Latur district showed increased during first two periods, significantly decreased in positive but declining trend in comparison with period-I. Area period-III to the tune of -17.31 per cent. At overall period it was significant at 5 per cent level and 1 per cent level in was positive to the tune of 3.0. period -I and at overall level respectively. Osmanabad district showed positive but inconsistent growth trend i.e. during Table 2: Growth Rates of Chickpea Production in Marathwada region Period-I to overall period the area was observed to the tune of 0.47, 2.30, 12.45, 2.51 respectively which means that area Name of District Period-I Period-II Period-III Overall under chickpea in Hingoli district was increased during Aurangabad 6.55 4.80 -4.52 -1.12 period- II to overall level but showed declining trend at Jalna -0.80 11.58 -2.05 -0.14 overall period in compare to period-II and III.
