The
present study was conducted to measure the trend of growth and decomposition in
pea, which is vital for understanding how outputs change over time. Compound annual growth rate,
instability index and decomposition analysis of peas were examined in all the districts
of Himachal Pradesh. The
overall CAGR was highest in the Chamba district (11.20 per cent), followed by
Bilaspur district (7.30 per cent) in terms of area, whereas Hamirpur district
showed negative growth (1.90 per cent). Lahaul
&Spiti, Solan and Sirmour showed the lowest instability in area, production
and yield of pea crops, which indicated that the area, production and yield of peas
increased. The
results highlighted that to enhance and sustain pea
production in Himachal Pradesh, using improved varieties and agronomic
practices is a better option than expanding cultivation areas, since land is
scarce and fixed in supply.
Keywords: Decomposition, instability,
