“…Many studies on quantitative analysis of efficient cropping zone done by several researchers such as Sankar and Kowshika [5] who reported that the trend analysis of potato production was decreasing till early 21st century and thereafter increasing gradually with respect to cropping area and Chilli showed reduction in production over the years. They also revealed that the Nilgiris is the sole district which fell under Most Efficient Cropping Zone (MECZ), while district Dindigul and Krishnagiri were considered as efficient cropping zone (ECZ) for potato.…”

A study was carried out in the Department of Vegetable Science, IGKV Raipur to identify the efficient cropping zones for major vegetable crops grown in different districts of Chhattisgarh. Production and productivity of the Major Vegetable crops (Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra) for 6 years (2004-05 to 2010-11) and 8 years (2011-12 to 2018-19) were collected from the Directorate of Horticulture and Farm Forestry (Department of Agriculture, Government of Chhattisgarh) and Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Chhattisgarh. Two indices i.e. Relative Spread Index (RSI) and Relative Yield Index (RYI) were computed and the potential cropping districts for the study crops were identified. The outcome of study conducted from 2004-05 to 2010-11, revealed that out of 18 districts, three, one, four, three, four, two, four and two districts were found most efficient cropping zones (MECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. Out of 18 districts, four, six, four, five, five, three, seven and six districts were fall under efficient cropping zones (ECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. In Chhattisgarh, among 18 districts, six, five, four, three, three, four, two and five districts were considered as a less efficient cropping zones (LECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. Similarly, out of 18 districts of the state, five, six, six, seven, six, nine, five and five districts were categorized under not efficient cropping zones (NECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. Results obtained during 2011-12 to 2018-19 revealed that out of 27 districts, four, three, three, one, six, four, six and two districts were considered as most efficient cropping zones (MECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. Similarly, seven, ten, eight, seven, five, five, five and six were under efficient cropping zones (ECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. While, five, seven, six, six, six, six, five and eight districts were considered as a less efficient cropping zones (LECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. Among 27 districts of the state, eleven, seven, ten, thirteen, ten, eleven, eleven and eleven districts are considered under not efficient cropping zones (NECZ) for Tomato, Potato, Chilli, Brinjal, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Okra, respectively. The outcome of analysis of long term data of area and production of vegetable crops grown in different districts of Chhattisgarh indicated that the area and production of various vegetable crops have been shifted from old districts two new districts during the period of 2004-2010 and 2011-2018.

India is the largest producer of sesame in the world with an area of 16.22 lakh ha and production of 6.57 lakh t and contributing to 10.5% and 11.1% ofthe Worlds' area and production, respectively. The AICRP-sesame centreshave developed location-specific improved technologies, which can enhance sesame productivity significantly, but the awareness and adoption of these technologies among farmers is very low. Hence, focused efforts are requiredto transfer the existing technologies from the AICRP system to the farmers' fields through effective and efficient technology transfer programmes. To have focussed efforts for productivity enhancement and area expansion ofsesame, state-wise most efficient sesame cropping districts were identified by estimating the Relative Spread Index (RSI) and Relative Yield Index (RYI). Frontline demonstrations conducted in selected districts in the most efficient,efficient, and moderately efficient districts indicated a huge yield gap and vast potential to improve the sesame productivity under real farm situations. The extension strategies to be followed in technology transfer in variouscategories of districts for enhancing the productivity and area expansion of sesame crop are mentioned.
