The analysis of growth is usually used in economic studies to find out the trend of a particular variable over a period oftime and used for making policy decisions. The growth in the area, production and productivity of different oilseed crops in Karnataka was estimated using the compound growth function. The necessary secondary data were collected for a period of 15 years (2000-01 to 2014-15). Oilseed crops contribute a significant proportion to the agricultural GDP. In 2014-15 the area under nine oilseed crops in Karnataka was 13.73 lakh ha with production of 9.59 lakh t, with productivity of 505.4 kg/ha. The results showed that the compound growth rate oftotal oilseed crop in Karnataka during the period of 2000-01 to 2014-15 was declined to -3.30 per cent with area, -1.93 per cent with production and productivity increased to 0.43 per cent. In order to increase the oilseed production, it is necessary to make available of physical (fertilizers, pesticides and high yielding varieties), financial (credit facilities, crop insurance) and technical inputs (extension services) to the farmers there by increase in productivity of oilseeds in Karnataka.
