Abstract

Cropping pattern means the production of area under various crops at a point of time. It is dynamic concept because no cropping pattern can be said to be ideal for all times to a particular region. It changes in space and time with a view to meet requirements and is governed largely by the physical as well as cultural and technological factors. The change in cropping pattern in particular span of time clearly indicates the changes that have taken place in the agricultural development. These changes are brought about by socioeconomic influence. The cropping pattern explain from agriculture crops and changes are analyzed. Two sets of data (2003-2004 and 2017-2018) were taken in this study. Secondary data’s are collected and analyzed by cropping pattern.
