Abstract
Crop Area Dynamics And Irrigation Growth In Indian Agriculture

Abstract:
This research examines the patterns of crop diversification in India by looking at crop trends in total and irrigated areas over a period of two decades. The research uses information from Agricultural Statistics at a Glance 2023 to assess the size of crops and the level of crop diversification using the Simpson Diversity Index (SDI). Looking at trends and graphs shows where crop distribution has changed the most. We used both descriptive statistics and correlation analysis to analyse how much irrigation affects crop diversification. Results show that there are bigger differences in the use of crops between irrigated and unirrigated areas, and this difference is driven by more diversification in unirrigated areas. It was found that more irrigation is linked to more crop diversity, so irrigation development might support a variety of crops. These findings can be used to help create policies that support sustainable farming and wise water usage.
