Geomorphic features and their relation with agricultural land quality: A case study of Chahania block, Chandauli block, Chandauli district, U. P

Abstract

The Paper attempts to assess various geomorphic features and their association with agricultural land quality in Chahania Block (Chandauli District) of Eastern Uttar Pradesh using remote sensing techniques. The results of the present investigation reveals that a very deep relationship exists between geomorphic features and various quality of agricultural lands. Some of the geomorphic features like palaeochannels, new flood plain etc. are characterised with good to very good quality of agricultural lands and encompasses high to very high agricultural productivity. On the other hand, old flood plain features are contemplated with a varying nature of agricultural land quality ranging from poor to good, depending on their spatial location and technocultural development.
