Abstract: The soils derived from diversified geological materials such as basalt, shale, schist, lime stone granite and sand stone under the same climate and vegetation in addition to almost the same topography in Budhihal Micro-watershed (4D7A312F) were characterized and evaluated for mapping units, land capability and soil suitability. Soils under study were grouped under three land capability classes such as III, IV and V. Irrespective of the parent materials soils under study were rated as marginally suitable (S3) for both cotton and pigeonpea. Schist derived soil was rated as moderately suitable (S2) while rest of the soils was rated as marginally suitable (S3) for groundnut crop. The basalt, schist and sandstone derived soils were rated as moderately suitable (S2) and rest of the soils were rated as marginally suitable (S3) for sorghum.
