Soil-site suitability assessment for crops forms an important component in land use planning of a watershed. The current study was carried out to evaluate the soil site suitability for major field and horticultural crops in flood prone Moridhal watershed in Dhemaji district of Assam of North East India. The study area was delineated using satellite data of Resourcet-2, LISS-4 in conjunction with Survey of India toposheets (1: 50,000) and, thereby, four physiographic units were delineated which include: upper piedmont plain, lower piedmont plain, alluvial plain and flood plain. Soil samples were collected from the various physiographic units of the study area and soil-site suitability for major field and horticultural crops were determined by comparing different land qualities along with climatic parameters following the criteria outlined by various authors. The study revealed that the soils were permanently unsuitable (N1) to moderately suitable (S2) for sali rice (winter rice), wheat, pea, mustard/rapeseed, sesame, potato, tomato, onion and coconut. The assessment of the soils of Moridhal watershed for soil site suitability divulged various limitations related to soil and climatic parameters. Major constraints identified in the watershed were high acidity, low organic carbon, coarse texture, excessive flooding, impeded drainage and low precipitation in early growth stage during Rabi season. However, some of these limitations related to soil fertility and acidity could be managed by adopting integrated soil fertility management practices. The soil site suitability index values of different crops were employed in a series of logical operations in GIS platform to generate soil-site suitability map. Such GIS based thematic and soil suitability maps could serve as ready reckoner for farmers, administrators and planners for better utilization of agricultural areas.
