Major soils and land-use of Canning II block, representing coastal region of West Bengal studied. The soils were deep to very deep, brownish, varied from silt loam to clay. These are very strongly acidic to moderately alkaline (pH 3.9 to 8.8) in soil reaction, slight to moderately saline (ECe 0.57 to 14.3 dS m - 1), low to high in organic carbon (OC) content (0.08 - 1.45%) and low in cation exchange capacity [6.9 to 19.2 cmol (p + ) kg - 1] and base saturation (52 to 93%). Among the exchangeable cations, calcium is found to be dominant in all soils, followed by magnesium, sodium and potassium. Major land use in kharif is paddy followed by boro paddy (summer), and vegetables and oilseeds are grown in rabi and summer season with the help of tube well irrigation. The soils identified and mapped and qualify order Inceptisols. Based on the characteristics, soils were classified as Fluventic Endoaquepts, Typic Halaquepts, Typic Endoaquepts and Typic Haplustepts. Soil potentials and problems were assessed and suitable cropping system and management practices for each soil series are suggested.
