Those areas of the world where physical diversities are less, the cropping patterns are less diversified. For instance, in the rainfall scarce areas of Rajasthan (India), the farmers grow bajra (bulrush millet), while in the Brahmaputra valley of Assam rice is the dominant...
This paper is concerned with the cropping pattern in the northern part of the union territory of Delhi in India and the factors that have determined the changes observed since 1966. The paper compares the changes in cropping patterns with what the Von-Thunen theory would predict in a region of...

cutting. It was hypothesized that by integrating such woody species into food crop production systems in simultaneous combinations, some of the benefits of natural fallows of shifting cultivation could be realized. Following that, many studies on alley cropping were undertaken in various parts of the...
mustard equivalent yield, productivity, gross returns, net returns, profitability and B: C (benefit: cost) was found to be improved with reduced tillage and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer under reduced tillage practices. To enhance cropping system productivity in various sub-humid regions world...
of rainfall and temperature, it is essential to shift the sowing period to a new optimum time. Then, it will lead to capturing the full potential of the particular crop and variety. In India, Indian mustard is a very important crop that needs the know the optimum time of sowing otherwise...
However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the extent and implementation of the GDCS in China. Here we present a study that analyses GDCS fields and their related farmland use patterns in Ulanqab, China. This study takes into consideration satellite imagery, ground truth data, phenological ...
