HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-
How is crop intensity calculated?
There are only two ways to satisfy the increasing food and other agricultural demands of the country's rising population: either expanding the net area under cultivation or intensifying cropping over the existing area. The net sown area of the country has risen by about 20 percent since independence and has reached a point where it is not possible to make any appreciable increase. Thus; raising the cropping intensity is the only viable option left.
Cropping intensity refers to raising of a number of crops from the same field during one agriculture year. It can be expressed as
[Cropping intensity = (Gross cropped area / Net sown area) x 100 ]
Thus, higher cropping intensity means that a higher portion of the net area is being cropped more than once during one agricultural year. This also implies higher productivity per unit of arable land during one agricultural year.
For instance, suppose a farmer owns five hectares of land, and gets the crop from these five acres during the Kharif season and, again, during the rabi season he raises a crop from three hectares. He, thus, gets the effective products from eight hectares, although he owns only five hectares physically. Had he raised the crop from five hectares totally, his cropping intensity would have been 100 percent, while now it is 160 percent.
