The present investigation aimed to examine the growth performance and instability analysis of rabi maize in Banswara district of Rajasthan was conducted during 2017-18. The study was based on time series data collected from 2007-08 to 2017-18. The results of the study revealed that among the eleven tehsils of Banswara district, Bagidora emerged as important one because the growth rates for area, production and yield of rabi maize were found significantly highest. Area under the crop observed positive trend for all the tehsils of Banswara except for Sajjangarh and Gangadtalai. Similarly, the compound growth rate for production of rabi maize in all tehsils of Banswara had been positive except for Gangadtalai. Whereas, compound growth rates for yield of rabi maize were observed to be positive in all the tehsils for the period under study. Besides this, high instability had been reported in area, production and yield of rabi maize in the district. Garhi tehsil had recorded the highest instability in the crop area, production as well as yield as compared to other tehsils. The total yield of rabi maize was found to contribute more in production as compared to the total area. But overall positive growth rates in area, production and productivity of rabi maize indicated that environmental factors were in support of increased production of rabi maize in Banswara district.
