Term:
Harvested irrigated crop area
Definition:
Total harvested irrigated crop area. It refers to the crops grown under full control irrigation. Areas under double irrigated cropping (same area cultivated and irrigated twice a year) are counted twice. Therefore the total area may be larger than the full/ partial control equipped area, which gives an indication of the cropping intensity. The total is only given if information on all irrigated crops in the country is available.
