Abstract
Cultivated crops are usually grown in combinational association (Weaver, 1954). Crop combinations or associations are now recognized as important typological characteristics of agriculture (Pande and Saxena >1972). Due to physical and cultural variety of land, the farmers of a region grow many crops rather than a single crop. Therefore the distributional pattern of crops gives lift up spatial prevalence of certain crops or combination of certain crops resultant in the coming out of crop regions.
A study of crop combinations forms an essential part of agricultural geography, and such a study is greatly helpful in regional agricultural planning, especially to optimize crop farming. Crop concentration or diversification is the result of variety in agro-climatic, topographical and socio-economic conditions as well as intensity of irrigation technological level and institutional factors. The objectives considered in the present paper.
