The pattern of landuse is complex and dynamic and spatially, it is variable.The need of the hour is a careful planning of land resources for the future which must take the present and past trends into full consideration. Any landuse planning must accordingly be dynamic and static, flexible and not rigid, capable of being adapted to changing conditions, not for getting the changing habits of the people The pattern of landuse is complex and dynamic and spatially, it is variable. Agricultural landuse planning should not be considered merely as the ration use of land put to cultivation and bringing more land under plough making it viable for cultivation, but should include conservation of land from erosion, salinity, water logging, development of nutrients through multiple cropping system, improving the fertility of land, application of modern technology and lastly the impact of over exploitation of land. It is in this context that the agricultural landuse planning must be examined especially by the agricultural geographers and planners. Hence in this research paper an attempt is made to study the geographical analysis of landuse for two trienniums i.e., for 1987-90 and 2012-15 in Nellore District taking Mandal as unit. Changes in 25 years period also brought out in this endeavour.
