3. INTRODUCTION -
 System means a set of elements/component that are inter-related and
interacting among themselves.
 The objective of any cropping system is efficient utilization of all
resources ( land, water etc), maintain stability in production and
obtaining higher profit.

4. Cropping System -
 Cropping pattern and its management to derive benefit from a given resource
base under specific environmental condition.
 It changes when place and environment are changed, it means cropping
system is location specific.

5. Cropping Pattern -
 It is the types and arrangement of crops in time and space or yearly
sequence and spatial arrangement of crops on a given area.
 Crop rotation practice by a majority of the farmer in a given area or locality.

6. Types of Cropping System -
Mono Cropping -
 A system of growing the same crop on the same land year after year.
 Cropping intensity is always 100%.
Multiple Cropping -
 Growing of two or more crops on same field in a year.
 It is the intensification of cropping in time and space dimensions.

7. Sequential Cropping -
 In this system, growing of two or more crops in quick succession on the
same piece of land in a farming year.
 Example – Just after the harvesting of Maize, Potato is sown and just after
digging of Potato, Chilli is sown.

8. Relay Cropping -
 Growing the succeeding crop when previous crop attend its maturity
stage.
 sowing of the next crop immediately after the harvest of the standing
crops.
 Example – Sowing of Lathyrus before harvesting of rice.

9. SOME MAJOR CROPPING SYSTEM OF INDIA

10.  Apart from different cropping system prevailing in Chhattisgarh
we have consider the economic status of the farmers.
Indian Farmers Classification
 In India farmers were categorized into following categories based on
land owning status -
1. Landless farmers : No land in his or her name.
2. Marginal farmers : Less than 1 hectare land.
3. Small farmers : 1-2 hectare land.
4. Semi-medium farmers : 2-4 hectare land.
5. Medium farmers : 4-10 hectare land.
6. Large farmers : more the 10 hectare land.

11. CONCLUSION -
 So the cropping systems are generally practiced but the economic condition of
farmer is to be considered for prescribing a particular cropping system for a
particular farmer of a particular area.
 A best cropping system can help the farmer getting more benefit with ecological
sustainability.
 So for higher productivity and higher benefit cropping system plays a crucial
role.
