7. CONCLUSIONS:
Geoinformatics techniques are
important in the accurate and quick processing of large amounts of data,
as well as the mapping of site suitability analysis for grape growing.
The IRS LISS IV and DEM remote sensing database provides a data source
for GIS research and mapping. For providing a database for implementing
the policy of sustainable land resources and agriculture development at
micro-level areas of the drought-prone zone, cartographic representation
of data in the form of spatial variation maps of percentage slope, soil
physical, chemical, and hydrological properties, and soil site
suitability maps inventory was used.The NBSS & LUP of India’s criteria
for soil site suitability analysis of grape production are effective,
but they require a broad and reliable soil survey database to be applied
in any geographical area. This research is important for enhancing grape
output as well as converting fallow land to agricultural land. The
socio-economic growth of the village Rahud is a result of
increasing productivity and long-term agricultural land planning in the
area. The potential of soil suitability of grapes cultivation land use
planning and development in the research area is determined by a
geo-environmental evaluation of the soil site suitability analysis of
the study region.
