Document Abstract
The study of crop combinations is a very significance aspect of agricultural geography. Crop
combination defined that the total or aggregate of different crops cultivated/grown in a region at a given
point of time. The crop combination technique represents the areas sharing significant proportion of
crops at higher rank and it is a very necessary measurement to analyze of the cropping intensity. This
research paper is focused on a study of crop combination regions in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh
state. The study area Jashpur district is situated in north-eastern corner of Chhattisgarh state in India and
it is located between 22017' north to 23015' north latitudes and 83030' east to 84024' east longitudes. The
main objectives of the present study are to finding out the crop combination regions and understanding
the cropping pattern of eight tahsils in Jashpur district for the reference year 2019-20. This research
paper has been based on both the primary data and secondary data and J. C. Weaver’s (1954) method
has been used for the delineation of crop combination regions in Jashpur district. The collected data has
been processed and presented with the help of quantitative and cartographic techniques respectively. As
a reaching conclusion paddy (72.28 %) is the first dominated crop in Jashpur district, the second
dominated crop is oilseeds (10.64 %) and the study area falls under the five crop combination regions
based on weaver’s method. Under the study area five crops combination regions is found in four tahsils
which are namely Bagicha, Kansabel, Manora and Duldula. Monoculture (Single crop / one crop) is
found in four tahsils which are namely Jashpur, Kunkuri, Farsabahar and Pathalgaon. Crop combination
provides a good fundamental basis for agricultural regionalization and also helps to the formulation of
strategy for the agricultural development in the study area.
