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).
