The aim of this study is to examine the cropping pattern in Kheri District, Uttar Pradesh, India. This paper also estimated the changing cropping pattern at the block level between 2009-10 and 2014-15, how the choices of the farmers are changing for the alteration of crops with the time motivated by modern technologies, land disintegration, frequent flash floods, deforestation, fluctuation on the market, etc. Kheri district has been considered as the study area for this research paper. The study has been carried out at the block level. The data has been derived from the district statistical handbooks. Field visits and personal interviews have been done to fathom the real situations and motivating factors for the changing crop pattern. The findings demonstrate that there is a net loss in the cropped area in the district during 2010 and 2015. The crop pattern changed in these five years. The area under cereal crops declined and sugarcane cultivation accelerated. Market and flash floods were the main factors to affect the acreage of the crops. Highlights m Being a major producer of sugarcane in the country, Kheri district is gaining the area under sugarcane cultivation with the time.

The evaluation of changes in cropping patterns in various places is critical for gaining a better understanding of the agricultural development method. The goal of this study was to look into the dynamics of cropping patterns in the Koppal region of Karnataka, particularly in the Gangavathi taluk from 2005-06 to 2015-16 and the data was collected from the Government of Karnataka's Directorate of Economics and Statistics. The study's main findings revealed that the district has shown crop diversification and that Gangavathi taluk is heading toward specialisation. During the study period, the taluk's transitional probability score revealed that the probability of transitioning from fruits to cereals and minor millets was highest (0.75). Cereals and minor millets have a probability of area of 0.48, while oilseeds have a probability of 0.75. As a fact, the majority of cereals and minor millets grown in the Gangavathi are paddy, and the retention probability of cereals and minor millets is highest in the taluk, as most farmers continue to cultivate paddy throughout the year. Furthermore, the study assessed the instability index of key crops to determine which crop had the most stable area throughout the previous decade, and it was clear that the paddy crop had the least unstable index when compared to other crops in the area. There is more flexibility in crop selection to elevate agriculture to the forefront of property development, which must be included in research and extension programmes.
The present study was based on secondary data collected from various government publications and pertains to a period of 43 years, i.e. from 1970-71 to 2013-14. This study has examined the growth rates of area, production and productivity of major crops, the trend in crop diversification, changes in cropping pattern and advantageous crops in Akola district of Maharashtra. The compound growth rates of area, production and productivity of major crops were estimated for four sub-periods, i.e. Period-I (1970-71to 1979-80), Period-II (1980-81 to 1989-90), Period –III (1990-91 to 2000-01), Period-IV (2000-01 to 2013-14) and overall period (1970-71 to 2013-14). There existed wide temporal changes in the cropping pattern of Akola district. Over a period of study, the proportions of area under jowar and cotton had reduced in Akola, whereas it was increased in respect of pulses. In Akola district, crop diversification has significantly increased during the study period. The diversification from subsistence crop to more commercial crops were taking place in Akola. Soybean attained a prestigious position in the cropping pattern of Akola. Soybean shows increasing land concentration ratio from year 2009-10 to 2013-14, so soybean is a more advantageous crop in Akola district.
Spatial and Temporal change in crop combination in Amravati district of Maharashtra
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2023
A study of crop combination constitutes an important aspect of agricultural geography and it also provides a good basis for agricultural regionalization. Crop combination is the analysis of the total percentage of area occupied by the different crops in a given region in that particular agricultural year. The crops are generally grown in combination and it is rarely seen that a particular crop occupies a position of total isolation; other crops in a given area unit at a given point of time. The distribution maps of individual crops are interesting and useful for planners, but it is even more important to view the integrated assemblage of the various crops grown in an area unit. For a comprehensive and clear understanding of the agricultural mosaic of an agroclimatic region and for the planning and development of its agriculture, a systematic study of crop combination is of great significance. In the present paper, author has made attempts to demarcate the crop combination region of the Amravati district of Maharashtra state for the year 2010-11 to 2021-22. Amravati district occupies the western part of the Vidharbha region of Maharashtra. Administratively the district is divided into fourteen tahsils. Agriculture is the main occupation of the district. Physiographical the region is divided into two regions Melghat hill region and the plain region. Fourteen crops have been considered for crop combinations of the region. Among these are Jawar, Wheat, Rice, Bajra, Cotton, Gram, Maize, Soyabeen, etc. are the main crops of the region. By computing the crop combination of the Amravati district it has been found that there are three to four crop combinations for the year 2010-11 and 2021-22. It has also been observed that the change in the cropping pattern of the region.
Changes of Agriculture cropping pattern in Satara district.
The Green revolution the attitude of farmers is change toward the high-value crops. The infrastructural development, technology, irrigation, hybrid seeds, transportation facility, agro based industry, rural market, availability of capital, cooperative movement and other economic factors are responsible for agricultural diversification. In the Satara district the cash crops have been increased more quickly than food grain crops. The main objective of study is to analyse the changes of agriculture cropping pattern in Satara district from 1980 to 2011. The result is obtained from a statistical and graphical analysis of the agriculture production in the study region. The study also found certain kind of structural changes in all crops. The area under of food grain crops like Jowar and Bajara are decreased as compare to the Sugarcane. The area under sugarcane cultivation is rise 250.71 per cent which is high as compare to other crop. Most of the irrigation facility and capital are invested in this crop but recently this are facing more problems.

Cropping Pattern in North East India: An Appraisal
American Research Thoughts
The North Eastern Region is characterised with diversified agro-climatic condition, different soil types, and irregular physical features and the region is also lagging behind in development. Before the introduction of Green Revolution in India, the North Eastern Region is one of the dominant supporters of the country’s foods production. But now the region is seeping down to the bottom level and has started importing agricultural products from the main land of the country. The agricultural practices of North East India are of two types- (i) Shifting cultivation, and (ii) Settled or plains agriculture. About three-fourths of her population, depends on agriculture and other allied activities. Rice and maize are the leading crops in both hilly regions and plain areas supporting food to the populace. The modern agricultural inputs used in agriculture are comparatively low. The present study explores the change of Cropping Pattern in the region based on secondary data.

Agriculture is the prime livelihood sector in the country, where about 70 percent of the population directly or indirectly depends on agricultural activities. It plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the country. Mirzapur is one of the backward districts in the middle Gangetic plain region of Uttar Pradesh, where agriculture is still the primary source of livelihood for the population. Cropping pattern is a dynamic concept that refers to crop distribution over time. Different types of crops, like paddy (rice), wheat, gram, jowar, bajra, maize, sugarcane, vegetables, etc., are produced in the study area. After introducing the Green Revolution, India modified the cropping pattern by using an effective irrigation system and correct use of fertilizers to boost the crops and its impact on cropping patterns in the study area; farmers left the traditional cropping pattern and adopted the modern cropping pattern system. The present study aims to understand the dynamics of agricultural development and cropping patterns in the study area by field survey and using secondary data sources collected from various government publications. The area under different crops of the study area has been analyzed and interpreted through tables and maps.
