About This Dataset
The dataset comprises 2377 records of agricultural surveys conducted across various villages in the Brahmavara taluk of Udupi district. For each survey, it records the crop grown (or land use type like 'NA Land' or 'Fallow'), the land extent in a formatted string (Acres - Gunta - Square Yards), the survey date, the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and hierarchical administrative divisions (Taluk, Hobli, Village). The data is intended for agricultural planning, land use analysis, and crop pattern studies.
Data Quality
The dataset has a high level of completeness for most fields. There are missing values in 'Month' and 'Weekname' columns, where data is often not recorded (represented as empty strings). The 'CropExtent' is stored as a formatted string, which may require parsing for quantitative analysis. Coordinates are provided with varying precision. Some entries have multiple records for the same survey, possibly indicating multiple plots.
Use Cases
This data can be used for: 1) Analyzing crop distribution and diversity in the Udupi region. 2) Tracking changes in land use patterns. 3) Identifying areas with specific crop cultivation. 4) Supporting agricultural policy and planning. 5) Conducting geospatial analysis of agricultural practices.
Limitations
The 'CropExtent' field is a string and not a numerical area, requiring parsing for quantitative area calculations. The 'Month' and 'Weekname' columns have many missing values. The dataset only covers one taluk (Brahmavara) in the Udupi district for one season (Kharif 2018-2019), so it is not representative of the entire district or different seasons. There are some duplicate-looking records which might be different plots within the same survey.
Methodology
The data was likely collected through field surveys conducted by government agricultural officers. For each identified plot, the officer recorded the type of crop, the extent of the plot, and its location using GPS coordinates. The data was then compiled and digitized into this CSV format.
