| Article Name : | | | TAHSIL-WISE ANALYSIS OF DECADAL CHANGES IN IRRIGATION AND LAND USE IN KHANDESH REGION. | | Author Name : | | | B. D.

The land, which is totally cropped in Kharif and Rabbi Seasons under irrigation during current agricultural year called as Gross Irrigated Area. It represents the actual physical area under all irrigated crops in Kharif and Rabbi Seasons. Gross irrigated area in west Khandesh region was 105403 hectare, 14.09 percent to gross cropped area in 1991-93 and 163722 hectare, 21.90 percent to gross cropped area in 2001-03, increased by 7.81 percent. Pearson’s correlation of coefficient’ r’ which amount +0.77 is high positive correlation between gross irrigated area and gross cropped area during 1991-93.Its marginal increase in gross irrigated area as against of gross cropped area in decade. The first thing to emerge is that the gross cropped area has decreased due to the increasing in other use of agricultural land. During the period of triennium 2001-03, Pearson’s correlation of coefficient’ r’ is + 0.29,indicate low positive correlation between gross irrigated area and gross cropped area. The‘t’ value for r = +0.29 is 0.84, which is less than Critical values 1.86 and 2.31 at significant level. It is rejected at statistically. | | Keywords : | | - Gross irrigated area [GIA],Gross cropped area [GCA],Decadal,Correlation coefficient,land use,
