ABSTRACT
The present paper spatially analysis the cropping pattern in Malwa
region of the India Punjab by using secondary sources of data i.e.
from 2000-2001 to 2010-2011. Districts has been selected as a spatial
unit of the present study. The study yields some interesting findings
is that the cropping pattern of the study area had drastically changed.
It has been observed that the traditional crops of the region have
shifted to modern paddy crops specially to rice and wheat during the
one decade. Choropleth maps clearly depicting the shifting nature of
these crops i.e. wheat, rice, cotton and oil seeds in this paper. The
spatial variability of these crops was affected by many local factors
like climatic conditions, relatively high preference to particular crop,
irrigation facilities, types of relief, etc. But the emergence of rice in
Malwa region during this period was one of the key factors in this
regard which will have several socio-economic and environment
consequences.
