A Remote Sensing Approach for Establishing the Soil Physiographic Relationship in the Coastal Agro Eco system of North Karnataka

V. Mini, P.L. Patil, G.S. Dasog

Abstract


Karnataka coastal area has a variety of topographic features. Soils of the Mirjan village (pilot site) of coastal agro ecosystem of Karnataka were studied in relation to topography by remote sensing followed by ground survey and laboratory analysis. Cadastral map of scale 1:8000 and IRS 1D LISS III+PAN fused image of the village were used for pedo-geomorphic investigations of the Mirjan village. Based on morphological (tone, texture, colour and contours) analysis, different physiographic features delineated on the base map are hills and hill ranges (254.56ha), low hills (129.28ha), midlands (88.57ha) and lowlands (80.41ha).
