A. Srikanth, Prof. Dr. Pramod Kumar

Abstract :

 In the present study fifteen representative pedons (Soil Samples) were selected based on topography from various physiographic units identified in of Ranga Reddy district in Telangana State. Remote sensing plays a key role in generation of spatial information and mapping of natural resources and inventory, especially for soil resource mapping for optimal land use for sustainable development of agriculture. Based on the land characteristics of each physiographic unit and land capability criteria for land qualities, land capability classes and sub–classes were assigned. For this study, the GIS and image processing software used were ARCGIS10. According to soil–site evaluation, most of the upland was marginally suitable or not suitable for rice, cabbage, tomato and cotton crops. The upland are moderately suitable to chilli and red gram. Most of the midlands were moderately suitable for chilli, cabbage and red gram and marginally suitable for rice, tomato and cotton. The low land were marginally suitable for these crops, were as lowland was moderately suitable for chilli, cabbage and cotton and marginally suitable for rice, tomato and cotton.
