Fig. 4: Optimized changes in crop area for the Kharif and Rabi seasons.
a,b, Optimization of crop area with 90th percentile observed yield values for each agroclimatic zone (OMYG). a, Optimized changes in rainfed (i–iv) and irrigated (v–viii) crop areas in the Kharif season for rice (i,v), millet (ii,vi), maize (iii,vii) and sorghum (iv,viii), and fractions of observed (ix,xi) and optimized (x,xii) cereal crop areas in rainfed (ix,x) and irrigated (xi,xii) cropped areas. b, Optimized changes in irrigated crop areas for wheat (i), barley (ii) and sorghum (iii) in the Rabi season, and fractions of observed (iv) and optimized (v) cereal crop areas in irrigated cropped areas. Rainfed areas are negligibly small in the Rabi season as irrigation is essential; thus, the proposed changes for rainfed region in the Rabi season are not presented. All district-wise maps were created using ArcMap (ArcGIS10.5).
