Pre harvest forecast of agricultural production is essentially required for food security point of view. In this paper attempt has been made to develop model for forecasting the yield of kharif (Groundnut, paddy, maize) and rabi (wheat and mustard) crop of different district of middle Gujarat and no[r]

Regression with Autocorrelated and Heteroscedastic ErrorsThe AUTOREG procedure provides regression analysis and forecasting of linear models withautocorrelated or heteroscedastic errors. The AUTOREG procedure includes the following features: estimation and prediction of[r]

This paper attempts to analyse the status of agricultural credit disbursement in the state of Odisha. The analysis has revealed that the credit disbursed for the crop loan, term loan and allied loan has been increased over the period of time.The growth rates in crop loan disbursement among the insti[r]

The present study is entirely based upon secondary data. The secondary data related to area, production and productivity of total horticultural crops in India, Haryana and Odisha were taken from National horticulture board data base and respective state horticultural departments from 2005-06 to 2017[r]

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major rabi pulse crop and is a cheap source of protein. It has also advantages in the management of soil fertility particularly in dry lands and the semiarid tropics. Despite of low productivity of chickpea is attributed to Fusarium wilt disease which caus[r]
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) is an important multipurpose pulse legume in the tropics and subtropics. The global production of pigeon pea is 4.32 million tonnes from an area of 5.32 m ha with a productivity of 813.2 kg/ha. India is the largest producer and consumer of pigeonpea with an area of 3.86[r]
Agricultural production depends upon many factors, of which weather is the major factor. Weather varies with space and time; hence, its forecast can help to minimize the farm losses through proper management of agricultural operations. The complete avoidance of all farm losses due to weather factor[r]

Agriculture plays a vital role in Indian economy. Among the cereals, Rice has shaped the culture, diet and economy of thousands of millions of people. The total Rice production in the world is 496.22 million metric tonnes as estimated by the United states Department of Agriculture in 2019 (USDA). In[r]
