Abstract

Agricultural development is multidimensional in nature. There are number of elements influencing on the level of agricultural development in a region. Understanding the spatial and temporal differences in the level of agricultural development and to examine measures their relationships with physical and non-physical factors influencing on levels of development is needed. The main objectives of the selected study are, to study the special pattern of Agricultural Development in Mandya district & to analyze the regional disparities of agricultural development. The present study is based on secondary source of published data for the years 1991 and 2017 obtained from the statistical magazine of Mandya district. For measuring the relative score of various attributes of agricultural development in Mandya district. Standard score technique has been applied (Z-Score). New technologies and commercial crops are adopted to develop agro-economy. For these reason emphases on the diffusion of agricultural innovation are stressed. Therefore, an attempt has been made to identify the spatiotemporal pattern of agricultural development in seven development taluks of Mandya district.

Keywords: Agricultural development; Z Score
