Sheikh, A.D.
Factors affecting cropping intensity in Barani areas of Northern Punjab, Pakistan - Islamabad (Pakistan) : Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, 1988. - Printed
Peer review
The major factors affecting cropping intensity in the barani farming systems of Northern Punjab are analysed. Area of lepara land, rainfall, mechanization and farm size are major determinants of overall cropping intensity. This is almost 120 percent, but on lepara land it is 175 (compared with 100 on mera land). Quite different factors explain cropping intensity of the two distinct land types. The research and policy needs for increasing cropping intensity are identified.
