1.1 Principle Fruit & Vegetable crop estimates
During the year 2010-11, the Crop Estimation Survey undertaken by the Directorate of Eco-
nomics & Statistics covered seven fruit crops (Mango, Banana, Grapes, Guava, pomegranate,
c Copyright 2012 Asian Development Bank unless stated
Sapota & Lemon), four vegetable crops (Tomato, Beans, Brinjal and Cabbage) and one minor
crop (Turmeric).
1488 villages were selected for area enumeration and yield estimation on fruits & minor
crops out of which 1458 villages were enumerated and 2916 experiments were conducted in
1488 villages. For vegetable crops, 2266 villages were selected for area enumeration and 4532
crop cutting experiments were planned, of which 2248 villages were enumerated for area and
4496 crop cutting experiments were conducted.
Mango The estimated cropping area was 117,331 hectares in 2010-11 compared to 115,003
hectares in 2009-10. It is mainly grown in Kolar (31,040 hect.) and Ramanagara (15,969
hect.) and Tumkur (12,866 hect.) districts.
The estimated yield for the crop was 4.89 tonnes/hect. in 2010-11 as against 4.25 tonnes/hect
FT
in 2009-10. The average number of bearing trees/hect. was 87 and the average yield/bearing
tree was 60 kgs as against an average of 82 bearing trees per hectare and 51 kgs of average
yield per bearing tree during 2009-10
The total production of Mango in the state during 2010-11 was 5.74 lakh tonnes as com-
pared to 4.89 lakh tonnes during 2009-10 which amounts to an increase of 17% over
RA
previous year.
