Agriculture and Cropping Pattern Agriculture is the main land use in all tahsils except Pune where the area not available for cultivation constitutes the major land use category covering about 60% of the total area. The western tahsils of Velhe, Mulshi and Mawal have more forest cover than the other tahsils.

Cereals dominate the crops in all tahsils except Bhor, Velhe, Mulshi and Mawal.

The eastern part of Pune district has more area under cultivation than the western part. Large patches under Kharif crops have been delineated in Baramati, Shirur and Junner tahsils. Availability of good irrigation facilities in the area has enabled widespread practice of double cropping along the Nira river forming the Southern boundary of the district, as well as along the Bhima, Mula and Indrayani rivers.

The bovine population is highest in Khed (1,17,782) followed by Junner (95,547) and is lowest in Pune (12,859). The cattle population is highest in Baramati tahsil with 1,93,844 cattle, closely followed by Indapur, with 1,90,891 cattle and is lowest in Pune with only 24,353 heads of cattle.
