Abstract

Pulses are important source of proteins, high in fibre content and provide ample quantity of vitamins and minerals. To study the growth rate of pulses cultivated in India, the secondary data of area, production and productivity of pulses for the country as a whole were collected from the website, www.indiastat.com for a period of 1990-91 to 2015-16. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was used to study the growth rate of area, production and productivity of major pulses cultivated in India. The highest significant growth rate of area and production was showed by bengal gram as 2.27 per cent and 1.28 per cent respectively whereas black gram marked the highest significant growth rate with respect to productivity (1.07 %). The growth rate of pulses were found to be lesser which might have a negative impact on food and nutritional security of nation since pulses are the major source of proteins.
