Abstract

• Kyaing Tong is one of the five townships of Kyaing Tong District, and is located in Eastern Shan State, Myanmar. Physical condition of the township is composed of many hilly areas and a few flatlands. The region experiences Humid Subtropical Climate. This study focuses mainly on the spatial variation of monsoon paddy cultivation in Kyaing Tong Township. In this research paper, Weaver’s crop combination method and relative yield and relative spread indices are calculated based on cropped area and yields. According to Weaver's method there are 5 crop combination areas in Kyaing Tong. Based on 2022-23 data, 18 village tracts were monsoon paddy high yield- high spread areas, 9 village tracts- high yield- low spread areas, 2 village tracts- low yield- high spread areas and 3 village tracts- low yield- high spread areas. Besides, geospatial techniques used to identify the most productive and suitable areas for crop production and spread.
