Description

Abstract: The present study is an attemptto explain the crop concentration and diversification in agriculture of the Latur district of Maharashtra. Here, a detailed study has been done to know the dominant crop as well as the ranking of the crops in the cropping pattern of the study area. The study is based on secondary data sets that have been collected from the district statistical handbook 2020-21. Using Bhatia’s method, the crop concentration indices for all blocks of the district have been calculated for crops like Soybean, Sugarcane, Tur, Gram, Jowar, Mung and Udid. Crop concentration and Crop diversification indices have been calculated by using index for all the tehsil of the district. This study attempted to delineate the tehsils of high and low crop diversification and crop concentration.
