    In view of the importance of agriculture sector in National economy several attempts have been made to study the trends in area and production of principal crops which reveal the growth performance. The data is collected for area, production and productivity of major agricultural crops for the period of 1985-2005. The study period was classified as Pre WTO (World Trade Organization) era from 1985-1995 and Post WTO era from 1995-2005. For the estimation of the trends in area and production and to measure the association in productivity we consider different agriculture crops like paddy, ragi, bajra, wheat, jowar, bengal gram, tur, groundnut, sugarcane and cotton crops from all the districts of the Karnataka. Mann-Kendall test for trend coupled with the Sen's method for slope estimation used for identification and estimation of Trends. In the present study correspondence analysis was applied to contingency table on different level of productivity with districts. It is evident from the findings that during first and second period of the study the districts found negative trend in area for Paddy (Dakshin kannada), Ragi (Shimoga, Uttar kannada, Bellary and Gulbarga), Jowar (Shimoga), Tur (Shimoga, Belgaum and Bellary), Groundnut (Raichur) and Cotton (Bijapur). However for the first and second period the districts found positive trend in production for Paddy (Bellary) and negative trend for Groundnut (Bidar and Raichur) and Cotton (Bijapur).
