Land fragmentation is the division of land into a great number of distinct plots (Dovring & Dovring, 1960). It is also a process of decreasing in the average size of farm holdings; increasing in the scattering of each farmer's land; and decreasing in the size of the individual plots in a farm holding (Agarwal, 1972).

The land holdings are divided into small pieces of agriculture lands scattered at many places" . It increases the cost of the management of agriculture and makes the occupation of agriculture uneconomical .
