APPLICATION OF GROWTH MODELS FOR AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY TRENDS OF SUGARCANE CROP FOR COASTAL ANDHRA REGION OF ANDHRA PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The analysis of growth was used to find out the trend of a particular variable over a period of time and used for making policy decisions. The growth in the area, production and productivity of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) crop in Coastal Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh State was estimated using different linear and non-linear growth functions. The necessary secondary data were collected for a period of 40 years i.e., from 1973-74 to 2012-13. Growth rates were computed by using compound growth rates. Trend values were computed to study relative growth pattern.The future projections of area, production and productivity of sugarcane crop in Coastal Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh state up to 2019-20 AD were estimated upon the best fitted growth model. It was observed that quadratic function was the best fitted model for area and production whereas linear function for productivity. It was revealed from the results that area, production and productivityof sugarcane crop was increasing at a rate of 1.19 percent, 1.61 percent and 0.41 percent per annum, respectively.
