Changing Patterns of General Crops in Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh

Agricultural Geography is mainly concerned with the spatio temporal analysis of agricultural activities. The most striking characteristic feature of the present day agriculture is its great diversity of practice, products and organisation Grigg, D. 1969 . The bewildering diversity of agricultural practices and pattern of crop farming is due to diversity in topographical, agro climatic, cultural, socio economic and technological conditions Ramanaiah, Y.V., 1984 . A systematic study of crop land relationship not only helps agricultural regionalisation but also provides a scientific basis for land resource allocation to various agricultural crops and planning for maximum productivity Singh and Singh, 1970 . The spatial patterns and dynamics of cropland utilisation in agriculture have received due importance in the field of agricultural geography. The study of cropping pattern or crop land relationship helps to develop typology and taxonomy of agriculture. Hence in the present study an endeavour is made to study the changing spatial patterns of general crops in Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh for two trienniums i.e., 1987 90 and 2012 15 taking Mandal as unit.
