The tapped area of rubber has gradually increased from 400713 hectares in 2001-02 to 521653 hectares in the year 20014-15. It further shows that the production of rubber has increased from 631400 tonnes in 2001-02 to 852895 tonnes in 2006-07 and 2007-08 onwards the rubber production and average yield are fluctuating. We understood from the study there is a close relationship between production and average yield. It is clear from table that the average yield of rubber has also increased from 1576 kg in 2001-02 to 1879kg in 2006-07. From the above table, it is clear that there is a positive relationship between area in hectors and production in tonnes, since increase in area results increase in production. It signifies that the total rubber area is increased and automatically it affects the other variables like tapped rubber area, production and average yield/ha also increased. In the year 2013-14 onwards the tapped rubber area were decline due to the natural calamities (heavy rain) also affect the total production is 844000 tonnes in 2013-14 and 645000 tonnes in 2014-15 respectively. The highest positive correlation between total area and tapped area for the study period is registered 0.96. So it is a significant one. The above table shows that output of the Mean and Standard Deviation. It is noted from the table that the mean value for Total Area (ha) the of rubber is 668538, Tapped Area (ha) of rubber is 462834, production of rubber is 791947 tonnes, and Average yield/ha (kg) of rubber is 1712 and the standard deviation value are92958 ha, 37414 ha, 97112 tonnes and 170 ha/kg respectively. The significant difference among the variables of NR in India are identified Total Area (ha), Tapped Area (ha), Production (Tonnes) and Average yield/ha (kg) as the respective âTâ statistics are statistically significant at 5 per cent level of significance.
