Abstract:
The time trend analysis of the area of groundnut is positively and significantly increasing in all districts due to increasing irrigation facilities and motivating the farmer for use of low cost input technology for groundnut crop under
Entisol soil in Raipur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Bilaspur districts and
Vertisol soil in Surguja and Raigarh district. But it is important to note that groundnut area in the later period of the study is sharply increasing.
The production and productivity pattern of groundnut is positively and significantly increasing due to increased area in these districts including Raipur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Bilaspur, Raigarh and Surguja due to increased fertilizer and pesticide consumption by the farmer and introduction of high yielding variety (HYP).
