Abstract: In the last few decades, concepts such as concentration of crops, diversification of crops and crop combinations have attracted the attention of many agricultural geographers in the world, but not in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, this paper, on the example of the Zenica Doboj Canton, analyzes in detail the above concepts of cropping pattern in the period 2005- 2015. Cropping pattern was rated in order to better understand the proportion of different crops within the study area. Results of the paper will certainly help in understanding the unevenness of the spatial distribution of crops and the importance of certain crops in making appropriate strategies and defining the production of certain crops in the Zenica Doboj Canton.

Key words: crop concentration, crop diversification, crop combination, agricultural geography
