| dc.description.abstract | Change in cropping pattern implies a change in proportion of area under different crops. The study aimed at analysing the changes in cropping pattern in Tumakuru with the help of time series data for a period of 20 years from 1994-95 to 2013-14 and for four sub periods viz. 1994-95 to 1998-99, 1999-00 to 2003-04, 2004- 05 to 2008-09 and 2009-10 to 2013-14 over taluks of the district. Data were collected from the District Statistical office, Tumakuru. To analyse the extent of crop diversification across the taluks of Tumakuru district diversification indices such as Herfindhal index and Simpson index were used. The results revealed that district experienced diversified cropping pattern during last twenty years. Degree of diversification was high in Koratagere taluk and less in Pavagada. Tiptur and Turuvekere taluks showed moderate specialization. Taluks viz., Madhugiri, Sira, Kunigal, Chikkanayakanahalli, Gubbi and Tumakuru taluks are on the path of diversification and the inference is supported by Kendall’s coefficient of concordance and Rank correlation coefficient. Tumakuru district experienced declining trend in area under food crops while area under plantation crops increased during the study period. | en_US |
