It is very pertinent to suitably identify the nature of composition of crops for fool proof crop diversification plans in a specific locality. Area shifts and crop pattern changes can lead either to crop specialization or to crop diversification. Green Revolution technologies led to cereal centered specialization in large part of the country. But, later when increased productivity of food grains, especially cereals, made it possible to allocate more area to other crops such as oilseeds with a severe supply shortage, the specialization tendency witnessed earlier has given room for overall crop diversification. Crop diversification can be practiced successfully in spatial and temporal dimensions.
