The agricultural sector is a key driver in the worldwide economic and social development. It plays a substantial role in achieving, among others, food security, economic diversification, poverty eradication, and human welfare. there is considerable spatial variation in cropping patterns in Rajasthan. Therefore, an attempt has been made to analyze quantitatively the correlates of inter-district variation in cropping patterns. To establish the functional relationship between the area under main crops and the variables given below, the statistical technique correlation has been employed. the Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the dependent and independent variables for two periods of time e.g. 1991-94 and 2016-19. Correlation analysis showing the relationship between district-wise acreage of selected main crops and independent variables reveals that irrigated crops such as wheat and mustard have a positive association with the variables of modern agricultural technology.
