IDENTIFICATION OF MINIMUM DATA SET FOR SOIL QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN UPPER KRISHNA PROJECT AREA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 58
Abstract
Assessment of soil quality index is one of the most important factor for Agricultural production because of salinity and alkalinity in the irrigation command areas. For this reason, a minimum data set (MDS) was determined with principle component analysis (PCA) for soil quality assessment in irrigation command areas based on normalized scoring function. The results found that the among the all the reaches the middle reach transition soils found best suitable for crop production with highest soil quality index of 0.874 and 0.826 in middle reach compare to 0.710 and 0.560 in head reach, 0.632 and 0.364 in tail reach command area of laterals-1 and 2. Therefore, best management practices should follow in head reach with respect to increase the water holding capacity in sandy soils and to solve drainage problems in tail reach clay soils The result of this study throw a light on general guideline to manage irrigation command area of UKP.
