LAND EVALUATION OF RICE-WHEAT GROWING SOILS OF CENTRAL PLAINS OF PUNJAB FOR LAND USE PLANNING

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 qu[r]

metrics were loosely based on those used in the Ohio Rapid Assessment Method (ORAM) (Mack 2001), while new metrics were also included to reflect different data collection methods in this study. We assign[r]

Soils of Bino-river watershed in Almora district of Uttarakhand, India in north western Himalayas were characterised and classified for land categorisation and perspective land use planning. On the basis of interpretation of remote sensing data and ground truth verification three broad landforms viz[r]

The conversion of agricultural land into developed infrastructure entails trade-offs. Therefore, studying the dynamics of change between agriculture and developed areas is essential. This study utilizes remote sensing technology to study this dynamic. In particular, satellite images were utilized to[r]

endeavour. Therefore, metrics tracking human demand on, and availability of, regenerative and waste absorptive capacity within the biosphere are needed. The Ecological Footprint is one such metric; it measures human appropriation of ecosystem products and services in terms of[r]

The ERDAS flagship product is called IMAGINE (previously known as ERDAS; the latest version is 8.7); it provides remote sensing capabilities and a broad range of geographic imaging tools. It contains tools to make data production faster and easier, such as on-the-fly reprojection, a batch wiz[r]

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 techniq[r]

Chemical pesticides and artificial fertilisers may still be used, but their use will be better managed. Soil degradation will be treated as soon as it is detected. Water quality will be maintained. Ideally, diseases will be controlled before they spread. The mix of products being grown[r]

Land is always an extremely important resource to all countries. In managing this limited natural resource, land valuation for the purpose of determining financial obligation for users of land is a crucial issue for governments.
