Abstract: The present study was conducted in Zone IB (Irrigated north western plain) of Rajasthan. The study based on secondary data. Zone IB comprises Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh District. These districts have four micro-farming situations viz; irrigated micro-farming situation, Ghaggar river belt micro-farming situation, Salt affected micro-farming situation and Rain-fed micro-farming situation. Then mostly all crops are covered in this region hence this study was carried out in this region. This paper estimates and analysis the growth rates in area, production, productivity and cropping pattern of major crops in this zone. For this study twenty years data of area, production and productivity was divided in two periods, period I (1998-99 to 2008-09) & period II (2009-10 to 2018-19). The largest output growth rate in period I was area, production and productivity found in pearl millet and cluster bean. With the growth rate change in cropping pattern take place due to agro climate reasons and incidence of insect pest attack and disease then for this quinquennial changes in 20 years data on area was studied.
