ABSTRACT
Soybean is a most important legume crop in the world. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the growth and instability soybean. In Maharashtra State, Amravati district was selected as area under soybean is highest. The study was base on primary as well as secondary data pertained to the year 2007–2008.The multistage random sample of 120 farmers were divided in to three groups i.e. Small, medium and large. The results revealed that soybean is a most important crop in Amravati district, of Maharashtra. Growth rates for area and production of soybean were found significant. Instability studies indicates that productivity under soybean exhibited less variation. It means that production of soybean over the period has been almost constant. The yield gap analysis concluded that large farmers could manage their farm better due to high financial status. Whereas small farmers are unable to manage their farm properly due to lack of funds.
Key words :
