The investigation was carried out for 20 years time series data of area, production and productivity of maize used for the trend analysis using non parametric test, data collected from the ICAR-IASRI databook 2018. The average area under maize cultivation during study period was found to be 7.83 (Million Ha) with standard deviation of 1.10 with a production of 17.36 (Million ton). Mann Kendall test reveals that total area and production was found to increasing over a period of time with a significant p - values.
