1.0 Aim of the Micro-Project
a) To study cropping pattern of given area.

b) To identify the increase in command and culturable area near to water project.
c) To identify increase in yield and changes in economic status of peoples.
2.0 Course Outcomes Addressed
a) Estimate crop water requirements of a command area. b) Undertake survey for given
irrigation project.
3.0 Proposed Methodology
On the basis of a gaps analysis, a methodology has been developed to estimate

crop area and crop yield in mixed and continuous cropping scenarios.
In this regard, several alternatives have been considered, depending upon the
information available in the agricultural statistical system.
The different methods for the area apportionment of a crop mixture’s various
component crops are explained, as are methods for crop area and yield measurement,
along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. Situations in which particular
methods are suitable are described.
The questionnaires mentioned in this technical report have been designed for data
collection on crop area and crop yield for the alternative methodologies developed.

Applications of this micro-project
Water quality monitoring can help researchers predict and learn from natural processes
in the environment and determine human impacts on an ecosystem.
These measurement efforts can also assist in restoration projects or ensure environmental
standards are being met.
Pre and Proposed crop pattern

Before construction of Karjan reservoir in between 1973 to 1978 there is only 6.65
percent of the gross cropped area is irrigated. Out of the total irrigated area of
120.70hacter, 56percent area is reported to be under cereal crops and 37 percent
under cash crop. The distribution total irrigated area among various crops under different
crops is shown in Table 4.1. It is seen that, on an average, jowar, wheat, and rice
together share about 50 percent of the total irrigated area, while among cash crops cotton
alone has occupied about 36 percent of the irrigated area. In the case of rice and wheat
there is proportion of irrigated area to total area with an increase in area size is clearly
observed. In between 1973 to 1978, on an average, about 32 percent of wheat cropped
area and 22 percent of sugarcane cropped area are irrigated.

Season wise crop area
`
It is clear from the and above graph that there is major area isoccupied by the sugarcane
and banana which is perennial crop. Kharif andRabi crop area is to much less compared
to overall area. The sugarcane is along duration cash crop requiring considerable amount
of water. It is thereforeconfined mainly to the irrigated tracts of the study region.
It requires deep richloamy soil.It is a soil exhausting crop, therefore, application of farm
yard manures,green manures and chemical fertilizers is essential. Sugarcane has
8
occupiedabout 26500 hectares of area which was 50 per cent of the total cropped area-in
1999-2013. The production of sugarcane and its hectare share is noticeablein the study
region. The regional pattern of sugarcane area is affected bysatisfaction of irrigation and
soil properties in the study region.
Change in Crop pattern
A study of changing cropping pattern brings out the proportion of area under
different crops at a point of time in the study region. The cropping pattern in the study
region keeps on changing from time to time in consonance with change in irrigation
facility, agricultural prices, government policies and other physical and non-physical
factors. These cropping patterns are also governed by economic, social and personal
factors while the natural factors stand for physiographic and climatic condition.
9
CONCLUSION
Change in cropping pattern scenario study has been useful in determining the
impact of irrigation from Karjan dam on the command area. Karjan dam command area
has gone through a drastic change in cropping pattern. The major change is in
the adoption of the cash crops instead of the ‘cereal’ and ‘pulses’. Large chunk of area
has come under these cash crops replacing the seasonal crops. Before construction of the
dam the cash crop was cotton which covered one third area of the total cropping area in
study region, whereas after construction of Karjan dam and availability of irrigation
water in the command area, the scenario is changed to sugarcane and banana are placing
cotton covering almost 80% of the command area.
