Abstract: The paper examines the decomposition analysis of area, production and productivity of pigeon pea and chickpea in Marathwada region of Maharashtra State. Marathwada region was selected purposively for the present study. The analysis is primarily based on secondary data related to area, production and productivity of pulses crops. To study, growth and instability in area production and productivity of selected pulses crops viz. pigeon pea and chickpea crops. Data were collected from various sources. The data were collected from the Epitome of agriculture for the period of 30 years i.e. from 1986-87 to 2015-16. The entire study was split into three periods. The compound growth rates were tested for their significance. The results shows that, the results of the decomposition analysis showed that yield effect was the a major source of productivity chickpea and pigeon pea followed by area and interaction effect.
