Abstract:

Climate change necessarily brings about changes in the weather conditions. Climate change could affect agricultural productivity and causes increased health hazards and submergence of lands due to rise in the sea level to name a few. Climate change is the net result of many factors caused by continuous evolution of Planet Earth.Important vegetable crops grown in the country are tomato, onion, brinjal, cabbage, cauliflower, okra and peas. India contributes 13.38 per cent to the world vegetable production. The main objective of this paper isto know growth and variability in area, production and productivity of major vegetables, relationship between area, production and productivity of major vegetables with rainfall and temperature and replacement of area under these vegetables over the years and to predict values for area under selected vegetables for next five years. This study is mainly based on secondary data which was taken from NHM database 2013 and data was analyzed using Markov chain,correlation,CGR. The study revealed that CGR of Onion for area, production and productivity was highest in last 10 years.

Keywords:

Coefficient of variation, compound growth rate, climate Change.
