Abstract


Soil surveys are essential to study the condition of the soil so that it can be classified on the basis of its productive capacity to, determine ways and means of improving its usefulness. Realising the importance of soil surveys many of the advanced countries in the world, particularly the U. S. A., have surveyed the soils classified and codified them and then prepared soil maps to give guidance to farmers in the proper management of their soils. Unfortunately such information is not available on an extensive scale in India. It is, therefore, essential to undertake soil surveys in India on a systematic basis.
