Abstract

Oilseed crops are the second most important determinant of the agricultural economy, next only to cereals within the segment of field crops. Self-sufficiency in oilseeds was attained through “The Yellow Revolution” during the early 1990s and the major ones are soybean, groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, sesame, sunflower, castor, safflower, linseed and niger. Among the nine oilseed crops in India, the highest average contribution to total production of oilseeds is soybean followed by rapeseed & mustard and groundnut. Similarly, the highest average area contribution to the total oilseed area is of soybean (44%) followed by rapeseed & mustard (24%) and groundnut (20%). The main of the study is to know the response of acreage over the selected year. Against this backdrop the present study attempts to employ the Nerlovian lagged adjustment function for significant oilseed crops in Rajasthan to estimate the degree of acreage/supply responsiveness analyses. For the study secondary data from 1997-98 to 2020-21 were collected to obtain the results of acreage responsiveness of oilseed crops like groundnut, rapeseed & mustard and soybean in Bikaner, Alwar and Baran districts respectively. The results showed that acreage is increased under groundnut and soyebean.
