A change in cropping pattern refers to a change in the proportion of area distributed to different crops grown in the area. Cropping pattern is globally assumed as a very dynamic concept since it has changed over time and space. The conception of cropping pattern of a given location is initially determined by some factors such as demographic, geo-climatic, economic, cultural, sociological, historical, political etc. These determinants consequently shrink the cultivated area; and it, in turn, paves the way for changing cropping pattern and evolving new strategy of cropping intensity of a given locality.
