5.7 Organic Carbon (OC):
The soil suitability categorization uses the percent organic carbon map
of the study area as an input parameter. The fluctuation of OC in the
research area is seen on the percent OC map, which shows a range of 2 to
1.1 percent.
5.8 Soil Texture : (Sand, Silt, clay, loam)
Data on soil physical qualities, such as sand, silt, and clay, was used
to create a soil texture map. The textural qualities of soils are
estimated through soil sample analysis. The percentage variation maps of
sand, silt, and clay were used to create a soil textural map of the
study area. The study area’s percentage sand variation ranges from
80% to 90 %. The percentages of silt and clay range from 2% to 35%
and 3 % to 5%, respectively. The study region’s gentle slope land has
the most sand, whereas the hill summit surface area has the most clay.
