4.1 Field components:
Ratings of various soil-site characteristics for grapes cultivation
adopted from NBBS& Land Use Planning, 2006, Government of India. Soil
site characteristics of grapes cultivation include climate, soil
texture, soil drainage, soil pH, NPK, EC, Organic carbon, slope etc.
Soil survey, soil sample analysis, and remote sensing data were used to
estimate these features. The current study’s technique is depicted in
detail in a methodology chart (Figure 3 ). Geoinformatics
techniques are employed as a tool for determining the accuracy of the
study and mapping.Soil samples were collected and infiltration rate and
hydraulic conductivity of the soils were measured during pre-monsoon
fieldwork. According to the slope and land use/land cover difference in
the study area, the sampling sites were chosen using GPS
(Figure 2).
