CHANGES IN CROP COMBINATIONS IN LATUR DISTRICT 1993-94 TO 2013-14

Introduction :

            The study of spatio-temporal transformations in crop combinations is very useful for future agricultural planning. Crop combinations study should be useful for agricultural market development, for the development of agro-based industries. The study of crop combinations study is also useful to find out the crop combinations regions and planners can plan properly for sustainable agricultural development. Many agricultural geographers, economists studied the crop combination regions of different part of the world. Many agricultural geographers like Weaver (1954)¹, Sing Jasbir & Dhillon S.S. (2006)², Majid Hussain (2007)³, Scott (1957)⁴, Barrau J. (1961)⁵, Coppock (1960)⁶, Jonasson (1968)⁷, Fafiullah (1956)⁸, Morgan & Munton (1969)⁹, Doi (1959)¹⁰, Thomas (1963)¹¹ used their methods for the calculations of crop combinations for different regions of the world.
