Maize production in the state has been significantly driven by the rising demand from feed industries as well as its expanding utilisation in various industrial applications. In addition to its importance as a food and feed crop, maize serves as a major raw material in the ethanol industry. Both dry-milling and wet-milling processes employed in ethanol production generate several economically valuable by-products, among which distillers’ dried grains with solubles represent the most prominent component and are widely utilised as a nutritious livestock feed ingredient. The present study analyse the Growth Trends and Instability in Maize Productivity in Telangana State, India. The study states that Compound growth rates of productivity of maize in Telangana State were analyzed and are presented. Telangana state has shown a positive trend in Overall growth period of 2.35 per cent and it has degree of coefficient variation of 18.26 per cent in over the period. Compound growth rate of maize productivity of Telangana state in period-I was 4.06 per cent, while in period-II it was shown negative growth of -5.03 per cent and period-III the growth per cent is declined with negative trend of -0.54 per cent. The variation of productivity in all districts was higher than the variation of the whole in Telangana state, As regards the whole Telangana state during period-I, period-II, period-III is respectively 16.07 per cent, 17.56 per cent 13.43 per cent which shows degree of variation was unstable throughout three periods.
