5.2 Slope:
DEM and LISS IV remote sensing data are helpful for assessing soil and
agriculture management at the village level. (Duraisamy et al., 2018).
ASTER DEM used to create a percentage slope map of the study area. To
rank the values of the slope raster, the resampling method has been
used. The slope map was used to locate erosion hazards in the area. (seeTable 3 , and Figure 4)
The area’s gentle slope contributes minimal erosion risk, but slopes
more than 10% pose a substantial erosion risk. A slope of less than
3%, or a gentle slope, is ideal for grape growing. The slope of 3 to
5% suggested that the land was moderately suitable for farming.
Approximately 87 percent of the study area is covered by 1 to 20%
sloping fields.
5.3 Soil Drainage :
The infiltration and hydraulic conductivity variation are used to assess
the study area’s soil drainage properties. In order to obtain data on
soil drainage, detailed fieldwork was conducted in the study area. In
the laboratory, a spatial variation map is created, and then a raster
data rating is assigned using the resampling approach. Grape cultivation
benefits greatly from a high infiltration rate. The study area’s
infiltration rate fluctuation map depicts a range of 0.5 to 3 cm/2min.
Each category’s area has been computed. The infiltration variation of
the studied region reveals that the majority of the area is in a highly
suitable class, i.e. 53%. (9.71 Km2). (seeFigure 5 )
