Regional Pattern, Shift and Extent of Crop Diversification with Special Reference to Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh
Keywords:
Crop DiversificationAbstract
Crop diversification is the use of multiple cropping systems, i.e., the addition of more crops to the
existing cropping system along with the use of different crop species. In this study, the Gibbs-Martin
index, log scale technique, and linear regressions are used to explain the regional pattern of crop
diversification and the shift in the degree and extent of crop diversification. The Crop diversification
was discovered in the Malwa region, with a positive shift in crop diversification over the last 15 years,
according to the study. The study also found increases and decreases in the pattern of crop acreages
for different crops.
