Abstract:
Attempts have been made to examine the trends and forecasting in area, production and productivity of Sorghum crop in Central Telangana Zone. For this purpose linear and compound growth rates were calculated. Ten growth models were fitted to the area, production and productivity of Sorghum crop and best- fitted model for future projection was chosen based upon least Residual Mean Square (RMS) and significant Adj R2. Besides, the important assumption of randomness of residuals was tested using one sample run test. The reference period of study was from 1979-80 to 2015-16 and it was carried out in Central Telangana Zone.
