Crop Survey of KASABA Hobli of Chikkamagaluru Taluk of Chikmagalur District of Karnataka for Kharif Season 2018-19

The dataset captures field-level crop survey information including crop types, crop extent, and hierarchical geographic identifiers such as district, taluk, hobli, and village. It also includes spatial coordinates and temporal attributes like survey date, season, month, and year, enabling spatial and time-series agricultural analysis.

Data Quality

The dataset is generally well-structured with consistent formatting across geographic and identifier fields. Some columns such as Cropname, Month, Weekname, and Image_url contain missing or sparse values. Crop_Extent is stored as a string rather than numeric, requiring preprocessing for quantitative analysis.

Use Cases

Agricultural analytics, crop distribution mapping, seasonal trend analysis, geospatial visualization, policy planning, and machine learning models for crop prediction.

Limitations

Lack of numeric standardization for crop extent limits direct quantitative use. Missing values in time-related columns reduce temporal granularity. No direct yield or productivity metrics are provided.

Methodology

The dataset was likely compiled through structured agricultural field surveys where enumerators recorded crop information, geographic identifiers, and timestamps during different agricultural seasons.
