Pulses are grown all over the world and account for almost 79 mha in an area and 71 mt of production. India ranks first and contributes more than 25% to the global pulse production annually. The time series of secondary data on area, production, and yield of pulses from 1950–51 to 2014–15 were broadly partitioned into seven decades in order to demonstrate the trend of pulse production in more convincing and simple manner in the present study. The farmer could achieve these increasing mainly introduction to resistant varieties against different diseases and insects-pests, better management and matching with improved production and protection technologies. It has also been observed that the growth of area, production, and yield for pulses registered positive during overall period. Decomposition analysis was performed and the percentage contribution of area, yield and their interaction on pulses production for each decades and the overall period was also estimated. The yield effect has the largest contribution in pulses for overall period. Response to change in production because of effect in area is evident during fifties, sixties, and ninties. In seventies and eighties, the change in production is due the reduction in yield effect. The interaction of area and yield is not much except in the ninties.
