| Abstract: |
An attempt is made to evaluate Soil fertility of Shankharapura recently announced Municipality in the Kathmandu District and map them. LRMP maps of land system, geology and land use are overlayed on the recent satellite images and polygons are developed and sampling points are marked with their GPS points to sample. Top soil based on these land use polygons are collected and analysed in the laboratory following methods generally adapted by DoA and NARC. They are classified to the soil taxonomy, grouped into different slopes, land use and land capability classes and prepare different soil fertility maps using ArcGIS software. This municipality occupies arable and non- arable Land. The land systems of this Middle Mountain Range fall on 9a, 9b 10a, 10b, 11 and 12 systems. The lands are south facing with slopes ranging from 1 to 45% (32% gentle terrace, 28% very high and the rest flat and very gentle terrace). Soils of higher percentage of slopes are highly erodible aggravated by light sandy texture………………. |
