In the current study 20 years time series data of area, production and productivity of sorghum used for the trend analysis using non parametric test, data collected from the ICAR-IASRI databook 2018. The average area under sorghum cultivation during study period was found to be 8.07 (Million Ha) with standard deviation of 1.70 with a production of 6.75 (Million ton). Mann Kendall test reveals that total area and production was found to decreasing trend and statistically significant.
