Online published on 6 December, 2021. Abstract The present study was undertaken to analyze the trends in area, production and productivity of major pulse crops in Haryana state for the period 1966–67 to 2015–16 obtaining data from various issues of State Statistical Abstract of Haryana. Pulses were cultivated in Haryana in an area of 63.3 thousand hectares with production of 34.5 thousand tonnes during 2015–16. The results of the study revealed that the area under pulses in the state has declined at a rate of 5.53 per cent per annum which could be due to replacing the area under pulses by food grains. The production-wise scenario of gram and lentil indicated that because of decline in area under these crops production also declined during the study period. Only in case of lentil positive and significant growth rate was observed during the entire study period. The regression coefficients for total pulses in Haryana were negative and significant for area (0.025) and production (0.022) and positive and significant for productivity (0.022).
