| Abstract: | A study was conducted in the Bathinda district of Punjab state for mapping the cropping pattern and crop rotation, monitoring
long term changes in cropping pattern by using the satellite based remote sensing data along other spatial and non-spatial
collateral data. Multi-date IRS LISS I and IRS WiFS sensor data have been used for this study. Cropping pattern maps and crop
rotation maps were generated for the years 1988-89 and 1998-99. The present study has shown the increase of cropping intensity
significantly, mainly due to increase in rice area. However, crop diversity has decreased mainly due to decline in the area
under the minor crops like pearl millet, gram, rapeseed/ mustard. There is increase in area coverage of cotton-wheat and rice-wheat
rotation, at the expense of the minor crops. |
