The present study is an attempt to examined the crop diversification in selected tahsils of Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. The study is based on secondary data collected from various Government publications and pertains to a period of 13 years i.e. from 2003-04 to 2015-16. The selected tahsils of Yavatmal district were Babhulgaon, Arni, Ner, Digras, Pusad and Darwaha. In order to work out growth in area of major crops exponential model was fitted and to work out instability in area of major crops CV was calculated. To study the crop diversification Herfindahl and Entropy indices have been worked out. The results of study showed that the compound growth rates of area under soybean, were significantly positive in majority of the tahasils. The area growth in kharif sorghum, green gram and black gram were significantly decreased in all the selected tahasils.
