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.
