The present investigation emphasizes trends in growth and instability of pearl millet and paddy crop in Western Maharashtra.Traditionally, pearl millet has been important millet and the main component of the food basket of the poor people and dry farming system in India.The district wise compound growth rates of area, production and productivity of pearl millet for each district as well as Western Maharashtra as a whole for 53 years of study period viz., 1960-61 to 2012-13 using log-linear production function were worked out for the entire period the area has continuously declined for all districts of Western Maharashtra except Ahmednagar district.The production of pearl millet was increased mainly due to the productivity improvement.The production and productivity of paddy has been increased in Nasik, Pune, Kolhapur, Satara, Sangli and Nandurbar districts while, it is declined in Dhule, Jalgaon, Ahmednagar and Solapur districts. For the entire period (1960-61 to 2012-13) productivity was highly increased in Nandurbar district with 6.66 per cent per annum.Keywords

The present investigation focuses on instability and growth trends in production of major Rabi crops viz., sorghum and wheat in Western Maharashtra.The area under Rabi sorghum in all the district were quite fluctuating in overall period. It was mainly due to the rainfall and competing crops like Rabi onion and wheat in irrigated region and gram in un-irrigated region for Rabi sorghum.The analysis revealed that there is a wide variation in the performance of Rabi sorghum crop in terms of changes in area, production and productivity among the districts and region as a whole over a period of time.In case of wheat for the entire period (1960-61 to 2012-13) in Western Maharashtra, area, production and productivity found to be positive and significant with 0.63, 3.31 and 2.66 per cent per annum, respectively. The production of wheat was increased mainly due to the productivity improvement for Nasik, Dhule, Jalgaon, Pune and Ahmednagar districts of Western Maharashtra region not due to area expansion.Keywords
