A research was conducted to assess the performance of oilseed crops in Marathwada region of Maharashtra State. Performance of oilseed crops was judged on important parameters . growth. Compound growth rate was estimated by fitting non linear model to the area, production and productivity data for safflower from the period 1986-87 to 2015-16 . 30 years. The entire period was divided in to three sub-periods and one overall period. Whereas for soybean crop because of non availability of data area, production and yield data were collected from 1996-97 to 2015-16 . 20 year period. The entire period was divided in to two sub-periods and one overall period. The fitted model was analyzed using Marquardt algorithm. | Performance of oilseed crops in Marathwada region of Maharashtra state
