The present study delineated prime, moderate prime and marginal lands of Andhra Pradesh based on important soil and climatic parameters viz., soil depth, presence of gravel, slope and length of growing period. The extent of total prime lands in Andhra Pradesh is 51.52 lakh ha (31.9 %) in which Guntur, Nellore and Krishna districts have more area under prime lands, 7.31, 6.82 and 6.67 lakh ha, respectively. The extent of marginal lands in the state is 43.66 lakh ha (27.03 % of TGA). Anantapur district has large area (14.6 lakh ha) followed by Kadapa (6.68 lakh ha) and Chittoor (5.06 lakh ha) district. State government should frame strong land use legislations to restrict use of prime lands for non agricultural purpose. Pressure on marginal lands has to be reduced by evaluating the capability for a present land use and accordingly suitable alternate land use can be suggested. Not Available |
