“…Remote sensing technology has been used successfully in studying the different aspects of soils in spatial and temporal domain. The remote sensing satellite data interpreted as a function of soil properties and soil units delineated with respect to image characteristics and correlated with landform (Shukla et al 2009;Ardak et al 2010). Relevant information's were also collected from Survey of India Toposheets.…”

Land resource inventory was carried out in Palakkad District using remote sensing, GIS and GPS technologies. IRS- ID, LISS-III Satellite imageries were used to delineate different soil units based on image characteristics and was correlated with the different landforms. A standard soil survey methodology was followed to prepare soil resources map of the area. The inherent soil properties as an internal attributes and topography, physiographic unit, slope and climate as an external land feature of each mapping unit were evaluated for their capability occuring. It was found that soils developed on valleys and pediplain covered an area of 45.7 per cent under agriculture and plantation crops and have been classified in Land capability class II and III. Soils of foothill slope and pediment constituting 5.7 per cent of the area were classified in class III and IV and covered by plantation and open scrub. Soils of hill side slope covered an area of 8.8 per cent and classified under class VI and VII with plantation and open scrub. Reserve Forest area which constitutes 29.1 percent was not grouped as per capability classification criteria. The study indicated that Physical, chemical and biological phenomenon occur in natural habitat and conservation processes play a decisive role and should be considered for designing proper Land use planning aimed at the effective utilization of land according to their classes.

“…It will help to protect the valuable soil resources and also to stabilize the food production. Studies have been conducted by various workers about the utility of remote sensing in characterization of soil resources (Shukla et al, 2009;Indale et al, 2013). In a part of Basaltic terrain of Vidharbha region, Nagaraju et al (2014) have generated a detailed soil map through the Physiography -soil relationship for preparation of action plan using Cartosat-1 merged IRS LISS IV data.…”

Watershed is an ideal unit calling for multidisciplinary approach to the resources management for ensuring continuous benefit on sustainable basis. Land Resource mapping plays a vital role in resource management. A detailed soil survey is planned for the Singanallur micro watershed, Kollegal taluk, Chamaraj nagar district, Karnataka by using cadastral map overlaid on Cartosat-1(ortho corrected)+LISS IV image as a base to characterize and classify the land resources. Based on elevation and slope, three physiographic units were identified namely gently sloping lands (3-5%) very gently sloping lands (1-3%) and nearly level lands (0-1%). Soil profile study was carried out to identify the problems and potentials of the land resources. Based on morphological and physiochemical properties, six soil series were identified and the study area was delineated into 25 management units. Taxonomically, these soil series were grouped under Alfisols (Typic Rhodoustalfs and Rhodic Paleustalfs) and Inceptisols (Typic Haplustepts). The site evaluation of the soils showed that nearly 50% of the watershed area is highly suitable for ragi, maize, onion, turmeric and banana. More than 70% area is moderately to marginally suitable for red gram and groundnut due texture limitation. Different land use options and suitable interventions were suggested based on the potentials and limitations of the watershed area. This baseline data helps to monitor the different development programmes for enhancing the agricultural production. AbstractArticle History

“…The application of satellite remote sensing data products for small and medium scale soil mapping is widely accepted, but they have not been used for large scale soil mapping due to coarse resolution of satellite data [6]. With advances in terms of spatial, spectral and radiometric resolutions of the sensors, studies have been initiated to characterize soils at large scale through physiography-land use-soil relationship [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Characterization and evaluation of land resources of Mawryngkneng block was carried out using IRS-P6 LISS III and LISS-IV data. Five major physiographic units namely structural hills, denudational hills, plateau and intermontane valley were identified. Visual interpretation of satellite data indicated that 32.2% of the total geographical area (TGA) is under dense forest followed by wastelands (28.8%), open forest (16.1%), cultivated area (13.6%), built up area (8.2%) and water body (0.9%). Ten soil series were tentatively identified and the soils belonged to 2 orders (Ultisols and Alfisols), 3 sub orders (Udult, Udalf and Humult), 6 great groups, 8 sub groups. The soils are moderately acidic, deep to very deep and texture varies from sandy clay loam to clay. The soils are very rich in organic carbon. The availability of nitrogen is medium to high and phosphorus availability is low to medium whereas potassium availability is low in the entire study area. The soils were grouped into land capability class II & III and the soils were moderately to marginally suitable for orange and marginally suitable for pine apple. An action plan with suggested land use and interventions has been prepared by using all land resource information generated under the study. The action plan includes areas for afforestation, intensive cultivation in the existing cropped areas with soil conservation measures like mulching, zero tillage etc. and orange and pine apple plantation in open scrub lands which are cultivable wastelands. This might help the farmers and the planner in better management of land resources for sustained productivity.
