The total cropped area or gross area sown as percentage of net area sown gives a measure of land use efficiency which really means the intensity of cropping. The higher the index of the efficiency of cropping the higher the land use efficiency vice versa. Agricultural productivity is largely depending upon the land use efficiency. In this paper an attempt has been made to measure the level of Agricultural Land Use Efficiency by selecting Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra In the present study tehsil is taken as a basic unit of study investigation. The period selected for the present study is ten years i.e.from 1997-98 to 2007-08. The study is entirely based on secondary data which is collected form Socio–Economic Review and District Statistical Abstract of Ahmednagar, Census Handbook of Maharashtra and Ahmednagar District, District Gazetteer of Ahmednagar. Jasbir Singh´s method of land use efficiency is employed to measure the land use efficiency. Present study reveals significant spatial variation and imbalances in land use efficiency | | Keywords : | | |
