Abstract: The present study was carried out in Rajasthan state as a whole aiming to study acreage response analysis. Nerlovian acreage response function was employed in the time series data of major food grain crops from 1997-98 to 2020-21. It is concluded that acreage of wheat, paddy, bajra, and gram were mainly controlled by the gross cropped area in current year (t), while the price of last year (t-1) also appeared to be the key determination of acreage allocation analysis. In case of wheat, if the gross irrigated area is increase by one per cent then the percentage of acreage will be increased by 1.04 per cent of the area, while in paddy and bajra, farm harvest price and irrigated area were important factors and influencing acreage response, but their influence was non-significant. In case of gram, if the price is increase by one per cent then the percentage of acreage will be increased by the farmers by 1.02 per cent.
