Policy decisions are often made based on the growth rates of area which depend on the nature and structure of the data and instability of area in farm production. The present investigation was undertaken to study the growth and instability of major crops area in selected tahsils of Wardha district for the period of 10 years from 2005- 06 to 2014-15 for Arvi, Ashti, Devali and Samudrapur tahsils of Wardha diatrict. Compound growth rates of major crops were computed to study their growth of area under selected crops in selected tahsils. Coefficient of variation and Coppocks instability index were calculated to analyzed instability of major crops area. Growth rates under area of kharif jowar, soybean declined significantly and that of cotton, wheat increased area significantly. Area of kharif jowar, soybean, and cotton showed high instability while wheat, gram, tur, mung and udid area showed stagnancy in all the selected tahsils of Wardha district. Over a period of study cropping pattern has changed in selected tahsils of Wardha district.
