EndPointInterface git = ApiClient.getClient().create(EndPointInterface.class);
            Call<GrowerDetailsResponse> call = git.GrowerDetails("700","47751","1819","8");
            call.enqueue(new Callback<GrowerDetailsResponse>() {

                @Override
                public void onResponse(Call<GrowerDetailsResponse> call, retrofit2.Response<GrowerDetailsResponse> response) {
                    Log.e("FundRequest", "hello response : " + response.body().getNewDataSet().getTable().getAvgUpaj());
                }

                @Override
                public void onFailure(Call<GrowerDetailsResponse> call, Throwable t) {
                    Log.e("response", "error "+t.getMessage());

                }
            });

You need to add Converter Factory method like this :

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()  
                  .baseUrl(API_BASE_URL)
    .client(new OkHttpClient())
    .addConverterFactory(SimpleXmlConverterFactory.create())
    .build();

Also need to add these lines to gradle

 compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-simplexml:2.3.0'

Is your response is null or the line you are using for logcat (response.body().getNewDataSet().getTable().getAvgUpaj()) this? – Aman Rawat Oct 01 '18 at 09:30
yes i am getting null response when using response.body().getNewDataSet().getTable().getAvgUpaj() – Divyanshu Oct 01 '18 at 09:36
I used your xml to pojo converter and found out that it was not giving the required pojo. can you please post the pojo u are using .Also there are requirement for some tags which are needed to be declared above the variables. – Aman Rawat Oct 01 '18 at 09:39
Copy my response and generate pojo class by [link] (http://pojo.sodhanalibrary.com/) – Divyanshu Oct 01 '18 at 10:22
you will have to use tags like @Root etc just like we do to convert json into a java class. refer the link i provided above . – Aman Rawat Oct 01 '18 at 10:43
@aman SimpleXml has been duplicated due to some vulnerability, what other alternative is there – Peter Jun 01 '22 at 13:01
@Peter https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53774071/what-kind-of-xmlconverter-can-i-use-for-retrofit-in-android You can go to this thread. – Aman Rawat Jun 04 '22 at 07:40
@AmanRawat The converter suggested here does not seem to be available on the maven repo, I am working with Spring boot – Peter Jun 13 '22 at 06:50
