The land resource inventory of Gopalapur Microwatershed was conducted using
village cadastral maps and IRS satellite imagery on 1:7920 scale. The false colour
composites of IRS imagery were interpreted for physiography and the physiographic
delineations were used as base for mapping soils. The soils were studied in several
transects and a soil map was prepared with phases of soil series as mapping units.
Random checks were made all over the area outside the transects to confirm and validate
the soil map unit boundaries. The soil map shows the geographic distribution and extent,
characteristics, classification, behavior and use potentials of the soils in the
microwatershed.
The present study covers an area of 735 ha in Yadgir taluk & district, Karnataka.
The climate is semiarid and categorized as drought-prone with an average annual
rainfall of 866 mm, of which about 652 mm is received during south-west monsoon, 138
mm during north-east and the remaining 76 mm during the rest of the year. An area of
712 ha (97%) in the microwatershed is covered by soils and 23 ha (3%) by others
(habitation and water bodies). The salient findings from the land resource inventory are
summarized briefly below.
 The soils belong to 9 soil series and 21 soil phases (management units) and
3 land management units.
 The length of crop growing period is about 120-150 days starting from 1st
week of June to 4th week of October.
 From the master soil map, several interpretative and thematic maps like
land capability, soil depth, surface soil texture, soil gravelliness, available
water capacity, soil slope and soil erosion were generated.
 Soil fertility status maps for macro and micronutrients were generated
based on the surface soil samples collected at every 320 m grid interval.
 Land suitability for growing 26 major agricultural and horticultural crops
was assessed and maps showing the degree of suitability along with
constraints were generated.
 Entire area in the microwatershed is suitable for agriculture.
 About 60 per cent area of the microwatershed has soils that are deep to very
deep (100 to >150 cm) and 36 per cent soils are very shallow to moderately
shallow (
