5.4 Soil pH:
Soil Site Suitability Analysis is increasingly important because of the
physical and chemical features of the soil (Mandal et. al., 2018). Using
soil analysis results, a pH map of the research area has been prepared.
To acquire grid wise pH values for the relative pH ratings, a spatial
variation map of soil pH is used. The classes have been created, and
ratings of suitability classes have been assigned based on the Grapes
crop requirements’ suitability criteria. Soil pH in the study region
ranges from 6 to 8.5. The average pH value of 6.5 is suitable for
agricultural cultivation (Zolekar et al., 2015). For the grapes’
suitability, pH values of 6 to 7 are beneficial.
