Abstract

The cotton crop in India is concentrated upto the extent of 98% in three zones of India i.e. Northern Zone, Central Zone and Southern Zone. Cotton being an important fibre crop has been focussed in the present study with respect to compound growth rate and instability in area, production and yield in the three important zones. It is found from the study that though central zone shares the maximum area and production of cotton in India, the yield is lowest in this zone. The southern zone performs better in terms of compound growth rate and instability of yield of cotton. The high instability in production of cotton in Southern India may be attributed to high instability in area under cotton. The production can be stabilised with higher growth rate only by improving the growth rate of area with stabilising effect.
