Received Date:15 August 2019, Accepted Date:22 November 2019

Abstract

Agricultural landuse efficiency is a complex and dynamic concept. Any change in socioeconomic and agro technology input application brings corresponding change in the efficient utilization of the natural quality and availability of arable land. It represents the degree of optimal use and performance of cultivated as well as cultivable land. The present study is based on secondary source of published data for the years 1991 and 2017 obtained from the statistical magazine of Mandya district. The main aim of the selected study are, to know the landuse intensity efficiency in Mandya district & to analyze the regional disparities of landuse intensity efficiency. Here an attempt is made in the present study to know and find the agricultural landuse by adopting Kendal’s Ranking Co-efficient method by taking six variables and the results has been interpreted and presented in the form of Choropleth map.

Keywords: Landuse efficiency; Kendal’s Ranking; Net sown area
