Soil productivity can be defined as the ability of the soil to produce crop under a physically defined set of management practices. To assess the productivity of soil physical & chemical properties of soil, drainage density and climatic condition are considered. The present study has utilized the analytical capabilities of Geoinformatics in generation of thematic information on productivity of Jamboni block.
The physical land qualities indicate that the study area has a potential for agriculture crops. The criteria considered for land suitability classification are Soil properties, Drainage, Land use/Land cover, Relief, Slope. The crops that are selected for evaluation of physical characteristic are Rice, Sorghum, Sunflower, Cotton, Soybean and Arhar.
