ABSTRACT
An idea of the agricultural typology and its income can be derived from crop combinations.
Such regions provides areal significance and strength of individual crops, to advocate suitable device
for planning improvements in the under developed regions. Beside this, they are helpful in the

investigation of agricultural geographic. Agricultural development is depends on crop diversification

diversification regions in Sangli district of Maharashtra State. Ruffiullha’s maximum Positive
deviation method has used to identify the crop combinations and to find crop diversification region,
Jasbir Singh’s (1976) method of crop diversification is applied. Cropping pattern of the study region
is monoculture and three crop combination.
