Abstract

Protected cultivation is one of the most used methods for diversification of agriculture and to increase the farm income. From this study trend analysis was performed to show the trends of area and production of vegetables under open and protected cultivation. This paper is based on secondary data (time series data of vegetables from 1990-91 to 2020-21 in open field condition and from 2015-16 to 2018-19 in protected cultivation) was taken for trend analysis. Linear trend analysis model was used to analyse the time series data of area and production of vegetables under protected cultivation in Haryana. The major challenges of the study is the availability of a small data set of area and production of vegetables under protected cultivation (2015-16 to 2018-19) due to which linear trend analysis was not well defined. In the current context, trend analysis of area and production of vegetables in open field cultivation shows that the cultivation area has increased by 713.6% between 1990-91

Conclusion

It is concluded from the study that farmers can add-up to their earnings through protected cultivation of vegetables. Protected cultivation is one of the most used methods for diversification of agriculture and to increase the farm income. Production of crops under protected conditions has great potential to augment produce and quality of vegetables in main and off seasons through maximization of water and nutrient use efficiency, under varied agro- climatic environments of India. Trend analysis of area and production of vegetables in open field cultivation shows that the cultivation area has increased by 713.6% between 1990-91 and 2020-21 while production has increased by 1027.8% during the same duration. Similarly trend analysis of area and production of vegetables under protected cultivation reflects that area is increasing by 53.84% between 2015-16 and 2017-18 but the area has decreased by 9.38% from 2017-18 to 2018-19. The production has increased by 70.53% between 2015-16 and 20
