Abstract

Mustard is one of the important oilseed crops grown in Rabi season in India. In India, mustard crop is grown the most in Rajasthan in terms of area. This study is completely based on secondary data of area, production and productivity of mustard crop in Meerut district, India. In this study, data of 30 years has been recorded which is related to the area production productivity of mustard crop. The study period was divided in to three sub period, Period I (1991-92 to 1999-2000) Period II (2000-01 to 2009-2010) and Period III (2010-11 to 2020). In this study statistical tools were used for analysis coefficient of variation, compound annual growth rate and instability. Cuddy Della Valle index was used for calculating compound annual growth rate and instability. In the case of mustard crop in Meerut district, more area instability can be seen in the first period and more production and productivity instability can be seen in the second period. In India, instability of area, production and productivity of mustard crop was more in second period.
