Abstract

This study investigates the spatial and temporal variations in crop concentration patterns across different taluks of Hassan district between 1990-91 and 2004-05. The research focuses on a variety of crops, including rice, ragi, jowar, maize, pulses, groundnut, sugarcane, cotton, high yield varieties (HYV), sunflower, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, spices, non-food crops, and coffee. The analysis reveals significant shifts in crop concentration, driven by factors such as climate conditions, irrigation availability, and agricultural practices. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of agricultural transformation in the region and suggest strategies for enhancing crop productivity and sustainability.
