Abstract: Madhya Pradesh predominantly an agrarian state. The state is divided into five crop zones which are further divided into eleven agro-climatic zone. The data for the present study where collected from published sources and a period of 1965-66 to 2020-21 where considered. The compound growth rate in area, production and yield of major crops was computed or agro- climatic regions. The result suggests that no uniform pattern has been observed in study units. The dominant crop zone has performed less significantly than non-dominant agro climatic zones. Especially the growth rate in yield have not shown dominance in crop zones. The area growth in crop zones is not very much significant in dominant zone. The production scenario was relatively better in almost all the agro- climatic zones on account of improved infrastructural facilities.

Keywords: Agro-climatic zones, annual compound growth rates, area, production, yield, agricultural crops, short-run and overall time series.
