Abstract
The study presents a soil survey carried out in two nyayapanchayats, consisting of 23 villages of Amethi district of Uttar Pradesh. The soil resource database has been generated by interpreting Resourcesat-1 LISS-IV and Cartosat-1 merged data on 1:10,000 scale. Six physiographic units have been delineated in the area and soil compositions in each unit have been correlated. Twelve soil series have been mapped. The soil database was integrated with plot (khasra) boundary which help in generating soil information at plot and farmer level. Village level action plan for sustainable land and crop management has also been prepared. Information on land capability, land irrigability, crop suitability and Storie index rating have also been generated. It is observed that LISS-IV and Cartosat-1 merged satellite data help in generating village level soil information, useful for detailed micro-level planning. The soil problems identified in the area include sodicity, erosion, and poor drainage.
