Description ICAR-NBSS&LUP funded project
Soil fertility capability classification (FCC) is a system of representing soils
with a set of physical and chemical properties particularly fertility-related
constraints of topsoil as well as sub-soil as which directly influences plant
growth and production. An investigation was undertaken to study the soils in
detail in a 1:10000 scale survey. Soils were classified into 10 series and 53
mapping units as per soil taxonomy based on morphological, physical, and
chemical properties. Soil fertility capability classification was applied to all
the identified soils from different land-use systems of the south Telangana
plateau. The major soil constraints identified through condition modifiers in
the descending order were dry soil moisture (d: 100%), gravelliness (>35%)
(r++: 51.68%), low K reserve (k: 34.07%), basic reaction (b: 32.58%), low
organic carbon content (m: 24.05%), acidity (h: 23.01%), low cation exchange
capacity (e: 16.81%), and gravelliness (10–35%) (r+: 13.48%). The limitations
identified in specific landform and land use through condition modifiers help
to combat the deterioration of land quality and also helps to implement
suitable land management practices for elevated production and productivity
apart from reducing land degradation and erosion besides.
