The land resource inventory of Kanekal-3 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 these 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, behaviour and use potentials of the soils in the
microwatershed.
The present study covers an area of 547 ha in Kanekal-3 microwatershed in
Yadgir taluk of Yadgir 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 about 99 per cent is covered by soils, 1 per
cent by rock outcrops and others. The salient findings from the land resource inventory
are summarized briefly below.
 The soils belong to 13 soil series and 18 soil phases (management units) and
7 land use classes.
 The length of crop growing period is about 120-150 days starting from the
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 250 m grid interval.
 Land suitability for growing 26 major agricultural and horticultural crops
were assessed and maps showing the degree of suitability along with
constraints were generated.
 About 99 per cent area is suitable for agriculture and 1 per cent is not
suitable for agriculture but well suited for forestry, pasture, agro-forestry,
silvi-pasture, recreation, mining, installation of wind mills and as habitat
for wildlife.
 About 200mm/m) in
available water capacity, 15 per cent medium (100-150 mm/m) and about 78
per cent low (51-100 mm/m) to very low (
