Murshidabad district of West Bengal is mostly based on agriculture. In this paper an attempts has been made to delineate the crop combination regions of agronomic year 2015-2016 with the help of J. C. Weaver’s (1954) minimum deviation method. Twelve crops viz. rice, wheat, maize, jute, masur, maskalai, khesari, gram, mustard, til, potato and sugarcane are found to be cultivated in twenty six CD blocks of Murshidabad distreict for the year 2015-2016. Rice, jute and wheat are dominant crops in combination. Monoculture are not found in the study area. Three CD blocks with Ten Crop Combination, five CD blocks with Eleven Crop Combination and rest eighteen CD blocks with Twelve Crop Combination are observed. The study on the crop combination of this region can be utilized by agriculturalist, agro- climatologist and even the decision makers at any level to scientifically suggest better developmental and land use planning in this area.
