Abstract: "Cropping intensity" refers to the practice of producing many crops in one agricultural year in the same location. A greater percentage of the seeded area is cropped more than once when cropping intensity is increased. A number of factors, such as the availability of modern agricultural equipment, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and better irrigation systems, can lead to a rise in cropping intensity. Nonetheless, the average cropping intensity increased from 167.42% in 1990–1992 to 183.17% in 2022–2023 over the preceding three decades. Furthermore, the primary goal of the study is to examine the temporal perspective and geographic variance of the changing pattern of cropping intensity in the state's different agroclimatic zones. The findings indicate that the cropping intensity scenario is suitable in every agroclimatic zone, with the exception of the central one. The improved use of arable land and the increase in yield per hectare, which showed the progress of agriculture, were the overall results of these advancements.
