Soil site suitability evaluation of crops

Detailed soil resource inventorization was carried out at 1:7,920 scale in Bilalgodu microwatershed, Mudigere taluk, Chikkamagaluru district with an objective to assess the land suitability for various crops in the watershed. The soils of Bilalgodu micro-watershed are characterised and classified into 5 soil series comprising of 30 mapping units. The soil site characteristics and climatic factors were evaluated for its suitability for major existing crops of the location viz., coffee, arecanut, coconut and rice.

The present study was undertaken to prepare land use plan for Dorika watershed of Sivasagar District in Assam based on soil site suitability evaluation of crops. The area coverage of this watershed comprises between 260 ׳48 to 270 ׳03 N latitude and 940 ׳27 to 940 ׳52 E longitude. The watershed boundaries were delineated based on Survey of India toposheet (1:50,000) no. 83J/13, 83J/9, 83I/12 and I/8 and. R2 L4 MX Remote sensing data.

The decline in crop productivity in rural areas in semi-arid regions of Maharashtra was a serious concern and offered an opportunity to look into the reflective realties of drought and difficulties faced by farmers with rudimentary farming systems. The objectives of present study were to characterize, classify, mapping and evaluation of soils for local grown crops and to integrate crop – livestock systems at landscape level.

A study was undertaken to evaluate eight soil series belonging to Kabirabad 2 microwatershed in Bidar district in Northern Eastern Transition Zone of Karnataka State for sustainable land use planning. Seven soil series were tentatively identified and mapped into eight mapping units using GIS technique. These mapping units were grouped into land capability class II and VI with limitations of erosion, drainage and physico-chemical properties.

Major rice-wheat growing soils of Upper Gangetic Plains, India were studied and evaluated by considering soil-site characteristics by using qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative method employed were USDA land capability classification and land suitability classification, while the quantitative evaluation method includes Riquier's parametric approach. The land evaluation methods indicated that information on production potential of soils provide a basis for comparison among different soils.
