Volume : II, Issue : IX, October - 2012 Spatio-temporal Changes In Cropping Intensity Of Konkan Region. H.N. Rede DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : An attempt has been made to study the spatio-temparal changes in the cropping
pattern of Konkan region. Taking example of Raigad district of Konkan region, where the
physical factors are in flounced more on land use than any other factors on the earth.
Before three decades, there was no more difference between total cropped area and net
sown area, where the district average cropping pattern was marked 100.9% in 1989-90.
Effect of meager irrigation facilities, small size of land holding, nature of soil, vagaries
of monsoon rain etc. controlled the aerially distribution of cropping intensity. After the
establishment of vaidhanik mandal for Konkan region, witnessed several changes in the
use of agricultural land. These are technical advances in agriculture, the profitability of
different agricultural enterprises, and expansion of irrigation facilities. Though all
tahsils are recorded improved position in cropping pattern, except Karjat and Mahad
tahsils. The overall result of these changes could be seen in the improved use of the
agricultural land and increased yield per hectare, recording agricultural progress,
usually referred to as “agricultural efficiency” by agricultural Geographers. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : H.N. Rede, (2012).
