Abstract
The time series data on kharif groundnut area, production and
productivity for the years 1949-50 to 1999-2000 (except to 1975-76,
1976-77and 1977-78 due to drought) were collected from the
reports published by Directorate of Agriculture, Gujarat state,
Gandhinagar. The data were recorded for five major groundnut
growing districts viz. Amreli, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh and
Rajkot and for the state as a whole. An attempt was made in
present investigation to fit polynomial and ARIMA models to arrive
at a methodology that can precisely explain the fluctuation in area,
production and productivity for groundnut crop in different districts
of Gujarat state and to compare different models
