Abstract

The present paper attempts to analyze the crop combination pattern of Haveri District with the help of weaver’s method. The study region is situated in western central part of Karnataka state and it is coming under Semi-Malnadu region, that is why this land is suitable for crop cultivation. The climatic conditions, soil fertility as well as social-economic factors of the study region are suitable for multiple cropping patterns. In the study region out of seven taluks, two crop combinations are noticed in two taluks namely Byadagi and Hirekerur, three crop combinations are found in Haveri and Savanur taluks. Five crop combinations are pointed out in Shiggaon and multiple crop combinations are found in Hanagal and Ranebennur taluks. The unequal distributional pattern of crop combination mainly depends on soil fertility and water availability of Haveri District.
