SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF CROP DIVERSIFICATION IN HASSAN DISTRICT
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is studying the crop diversification in Hassan district lie in the fact that it helps us to know the contemporary competition amongst crops. Scope for rotation and effects on double cropping and also productivity. It enables us to understand the impact of physical and socio-economic conditions of the agricultural mosaic of the district. For complete comprehension of the geography of crops in the district.Method Adopted in this paper is the quantitative techniques proposed by Gibb’s and Martin’s for measuring crops diversification in the cropping pattern of an area.The formula developed for calculating the Index. The crop diversification related to the quality of soil and rainfall, reviewed at percentage of irrigation.
