The present investigation was undertaken to delineate agricultural prime, moderate prime and marginal
lands in Nagpur district Maharashtra based on land use, slope and soil characteristics. The extent of
prime lands in the district is about 470418.30 ha (47.5% of TGA) to which Kuhi, Mauda, Saoner and
Bhiwapur tehsils contribute, 61378.70 ha, 57051.69 ha, 41038.90 ha, and 41020.58 ha, respectively. The
extent of moderate prime lands is about 85096.00 ha (8.60% of TGA), which may be utilized through
adoption of appropriate agro-management. Out of 74699.73 ha (7.55 % of TGA) marginal lands, Katol
contributes large area (23205.20 ha) followed by Kalmeshwar (8337.75 ha), Hingna (8240.43 ha) and
Narkhed (8151.97 ha) tehsils. The study also indicate that prime agricultural lands are mostly located
around the 4th and 5th stream orders and hence, stream order may be used as an indicator for identification
and delineation of prime agriculture lands. The delineation of prime lands will be helpful in land use
planning, protection of prime lands and sustainable utilization of lands. The quantification will help in
prioritizing the area and judging the magnitude of efforts required to overcome the constraints.
