Description :
Crop concentration is the best way to define which area is most suitable for particular type of crops cultivation and increase their production. It gives correct and brief information about which area come under which type of crop in huge quantity and because of that, it helps to increase the land under that particular crop for cultivators. The present investigation reveals that the year 2006-07 and 2012-13 have considered for the present calculations. The entire study is done by secondary data. Tehsils have selected as an aerial unit and only cashew nut fruit crop have been selected for the present investigation. The Bhatia’s location quotient method have used for the calculation of cashew nut fruit crop concentration and analysed data has been represented by Choropleth maps. The high concentration observed in Gadhinglaj, Bhudargad, Ajara and chandgad in both years. In these years all tehsils has negative change except Shahuwadi, it is only because of uncertain rainfall and by using new technology undulating terrain converted in to plain and practiced sugarcane cultivation. Farmers trend towards the other cash crops like cereal crops also. Which will grow in fewer water supplies and also well known for small land holdings which gives more production in few months than cashew nut.
Key words: - Fruits, crop concentration, Production, Cultivation.
