Abstract: Maize (Zea mays) is one of the important cereal crops of the world and gaining lot of importance in animal feed industry has been chosen made to know the spatial and temporal variation in major maize markets viz. Davanagere, Haveri and Hassan of the state. The data on monthly arrivals and prices of maize were collected from the records of chosen APMC’s, krishimaratavahini and agmarknet and were analysed through EVIEWS7 and MINITAB18 software. Results of the study revealed seasonality in maize arrivals in all the selected markets. Arrivals were peak after the harvest of Kharif crop (October to December) and rabi crop (January to March) consequently, seasonal indices of maize price were higher during the months of April to September due to lower arrivals. Findings of the co-integration analysis used to assess the spatial integration of prices revealed that major markets for maize in Karnataka viz., Davanagere, Hassan and Haveri exhibited bidirectional influence on each other with respect to prices. Attempts were also made to know the maize price integration with markets in neighbouring states, viz., Nizamabad (Telangana) and Udumalpet (Tamil Nadu) leading maize markets in south India. Results revealed that Nizamabad market exhibited unidirectional influence on prices of Davanagere and Hassan Markets, whereas, Udumalpet (Tamil Nadu) market prices have bidirectional influence on Haveri and unidirectional influence on Hassan market. However, prices for maize in Udumalpet and Nizamabad markets have not shown any integration with each other.
