The land resources of Chhata tehsil of Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, India was evaluated
for land use planning towards sustainable crop production. The land evaluation is crucial
for food security, economic growth and overall development of the nation. Currently, land
is being subjected to various kinds of degradations, which calls for its evaluation viz., land
capability and land irrigability classification for various land uses. Soils of the study area
belong to Inceptisols and Entisols orders. Soils were grouped into 9 soil series, categorized
under four land capability classes (II, III, IV and VII) and 8 land capability sub-classes,
suitable for crop production as well as silvi-pastoral development. Besides, 4 land
irrigability classes and 6 sub-classes were also identified based on the degree of soil
limitations for sustained use under irrigation. Socio-economic survey revealed the
predominance of rice-wheat cropping system in the area. The results indicated higher
average crops yield under large land holding categories among and across the soil series.
Amongst all land holdings, highest yield was observed in Garhsauli series for rice, Ladpur
series for wheat and sorghum, Simri series for mustard, pearl millet and cotton and Chhata
series for sugarcane, respectively. Rice and pearl millet during Kharif season for Garhsauli
and Simri series and mustard during rabi season for Simri series are the most suitable land
use plans under all land holding categories
