Abstract: Floriculture has received a considerable attention in India in recent years from policy makers, researchers, agriculture and horticulture planners. International flower trade has increased significantly due to huge demand of floriculture products in the world. Floriculture plays a vital role in the diversification of agriculture in India and Karnataka state. The objective of the present study is to find out trends in area, production and yield per hectare in India as well as in Karnataka. To full fill these objectives secondary data have been used. The methodology used for analysis is tabular method and LOGEST function in Microsoft excel. The study findings highlight that an increasing trend has been found in the area, production and yields per hectare in India and in Karnataka, area and production are increasing but yield per hectare is decreasing. The main reason for increase in area, production and yield per hectare is found to be better returns from floriculture. The reason for decrease in yield per hectare is due to poor technology, inadequate knowledge about floriculture, unseasonal rainfall, unfavourable climatic condition and low quality planting materials.
