A detailed soil survey (at 1:8000 scale) was carried out in Chikkarsinkere
Hobli covering an area of 16,873 ha. The survey area was divided into three major
landforms, namely uplands, midlands and lowlands. Based on variation in physiography
and landform, five soil series were identified in lowlands. Five typifying pedons representing
the soil series were analysed for its physico-chemical properties and characterized
for mapping. Soils of the lowlands are deep to very deep, well drained to somewhat
poorly drained, dark colored, heavy textured and are developed over granite and gneissic
parent materials. pH of the soils ranged from 7.4 to 9.4 with a mean value of 8.4, EC
ranged between 0.09 to 0.62 dSm-1 with a mean value of 0.27 dSm-1, OC varied from 0.7
to 13.7 g kg-1 with a mean value of 5.95 g kg-1, CEC ranged from 0.57 to 38.7 cmol(p+)kg-
1 with a mean value of 15.88 cmol(p+)kg-1 and CaCO3 ranged between 0 to 50 g kg-1 with
a mean value of 20.62 g kg-1.
