A Statistical Approach for Assessment of Growth Rate and Instability of Wheat in Selected States of India

Abstract

In the present paper, the analysis of growth and instability in production, area and yield of wheat for some wheat growing states of India is carried out by computing compound growth rate (CGR) and Cuddy-Della Valle (CDV) instability index on utilizing secondary time series data of wheat pertaining to the period 2011-2020 in the concerned states. The percentage change in production, area and yield of wheat is examined by considering the base year as 2011. Moreover, the percentage share of production, area and yield of wheat are demonstrated graphically for the year 2020.
