Morpho-physical Properties of Soils of Kanamadi South Sub-watershed of Karnataka

An investigation was carried out to determine the morpho-physical status of soils Kanamadi South sub- watershed in Karnataka state India. A detailed soil survey sub using IRS P6 LISS-IV image and a total ten pedon location which were well distributed sub-watershed selected. The shallow deep. Colour pedons varied from 10 YR 2/1 (black) 4/3 (brown). Soil texture clay loam, having loose moderately subangular angular blocky structure with few fine roots surface horizons. Generally, content increased depth. Consistency ranged slightly hard when dry, friable firm moist, sticky very plastic wet. maximum water holding capacity horizons 59.65 79.15 per cent generally down bulk density 1.17 1.37 Mg m-3. In general, depth lowest at highest recorded depths. field 28.21% 41.32 %.The morphological physical properties study area helps for resource inventorization successful planning conservation enhance potential fertility major enhancement increase productivity.
