The decline in crop productivity in rural areas in semi-arid regions of Maharashtra was a
serious concern and offered an opportunity to look into the reflective realties of drought
and difficulties faced by farmers with rudimentary farming systems. The objectives of
present study were to characterize, classify, mapping and evaluation of soils for local
grown crops and to integrate crop – livestock systems at landscape level. The cadastral
survey was carriedout in Lagadwal village of Dhule district and applied treatment oriented
land capability classification to suggest soil-water conservation measures and soil - site
suitability for crops. The economic analysis of farming components was carried out by
selecting five farmers using soil map. A soil map with 23 soil phases as mapping units
were evaluated and estimated that 58.9% of arable land needs stone wall constructions on
summits (8.3%of area), hill side ditches on shoulder slopes (25.3% of area), bench and
broad base terraces on foot hill (9.0% of area). The onfarm trials with five farmers showed
that onion cultivation under broad bed furrow system with poultry + cow component
fetched an income of Rs 4.5 lakhs (black soil) over Rs 2.3 lakhs (red soil).
