| Abstract: |
A research was conducted to characterize soils of different land uses to prepare VDC level land use map, soil and land capability maps in August, 2014 in Chaumala VDC of Kailali district. A total of 87 soil pits from different land uses were studied and soil samples from surface soils (0-20 cm soil depth) were analysed for different physico-chemical . Altogether seven land uses were found in the project VDC viz. agriculture, residential, commercial, industrial, forest, public services and others category with forest covering 66.53% and commercial area covering only 0.12% of total land use soil area. pH ranged from 6.2 (slightly acidic) to 7.8 (moderately alkaline). Total nitrogen ranged from 0.02% (very low) to 0.35% (low), whereas available phosphorus from 36 kg ha-1 (medium) to 751 kg ha-1 (very high). Available potassium was low (81 kg ha-1) to medium (349 kg ha-1). A total of thirteen land capability classes were observed in the project area with IAu/1 covering 26% and IIAu/1R covering only 0.07% of the area. |
