Abstract
This study examines the regional distribution of crop intensity and irrigation intensity in Haveri district in 2018-19. The study area is located in the western part of Karnataka state and falls within the Semi-Malnadu region, which makes this land excellent for crop cultivation. Statistical methods were used to investigate the correlation between cropping intensity and irrigation intensity. Cropping intensity in Haveri district is 115.82%, with irrigation intensity of 26.39%. Hangal taluka has the maximum intensity, whereas Byadagi, Haveri, and Hirekerur talukas have medium levels. The key conclusion is that Shiggaon and Savanur talukas have a high cropping intensity but low irrigation intensity.
