Title

Physiological Characteristics of Land and Crop Diversification in Kerala

Abstract

The study examines the physiological characteristics of land and explores its linkages with the land use pattern , cropping pattern, cropping intensity and identifies the crop ranking combinations in the districts of Kerala using the land use data collected from Directorate of Economics and Statistics and calculated the Index of Crop Diversification. Many risky and uncertain situations which arise on account of variations in the physiological factors such as temperature precipitation, rainfall, altitude, soil type and economic factors such as price fluctuations, bacterial infections. These problems are mitigated by farmers through crop diversification via selection of the crops, which are more suitable to the particular area. Crop diversification observed through their revealed preference for multiple cropping instead of monotonic cropping and the preference for perennial crops instead of seasonal and annual crops and, high value crops instead of low value crops in cultivation, seem to be a rational move and provides relatively better earnings to the farmers which further protects themselves from agricultural crisis. The study concludes by observing that the regional variations in physiological characteristics influence the areal pattern of agricultural land use, crop diversification as well as the selection of crops, and results in variations in the cropping intensity in terms of productivity per unit of arable land.

Key Words
