This paper analyzes crop diversification and cropping pattern dynamics in Karnataka, India (1998-99 to 2020-21) using secondary data, Composite Entropy Index (CEI), a double log model, and Markov chain analysis. Results show Kodagu, Dakshina Kannada, Yadgir, Udupi, and Shivamogga have low crop diversification. While Karnataka shows a positive diversification trend, its coefficient is near zero, indicating vulnerability. Analysis reveals that minimum support prices for coarse cereals, irrigation intensity, agricultural credit, and highway length positively influence diversification.
