The land resource inventory of Shethalli-1 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 632 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
564 ha (89%) in the microwatershed is covered by soils, 34 ha (5%) by mining/industrial,
5 ha (1%) by railway and 29 ha (5%) by others (habitation and water bodies). The salient
findings from the land resource inventory are summarized briefly below.
 The soils belong to 4 soil series and 5 soil phases (management units) and 2
land use class.
 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 29 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 very deep
(>150 cm), 7 per cent soils are deep (100-150 cm) and 22 per cent soils are
moderately deep (75-100 cm).
 About 3 per cent area in the microwatershed has loamy soils and 86 per
cent clayey soils.
 Entire area of the microwatershed has non gravelly (200 mm/m) in available water capacity.
 Entire area of the microwatershed has very gently sloping (1-3% slope)
lands in the microwatershed.
 An area of about 78 per cent are moderately (e2) eroded and 11 per cent
area is severely (e3) eroded.
 An area of about 4 per cent is slightly alkaline (pH 7.3-7.8), 21 per cent is
moderately alkaline (pH 7.8-8.4), 52 per cent is strongly alkaline (pH 8.4-
9.0) and 12 per cent is very strongly alkaline (pH >9.0)in reaction.
 The Electrical Conductivity (EC) of the soils in the entire area of the
microwatershed is
