No such information is available based on geography. To get soil taxonomic information you may refer to already published literature on soils of your area. Otherwise get your soil examined by a pedologist. Good day!

Hope these papers will help you. These are about the type of soil that is present in India.

Please do check literature based on your study area based on geology, Geo-mophology at first, otherwise you can check the information on NBSS and LUP website.

Thank you very much for an information (@Bhavna Jaiswal)

Hi! There are certainly maps published by the NBSS&LUP, but whether those maps would be of any use depends on the size of your study area. NBSS&LUP state-level soil maps have a scale of 1:500,000 and regional-level soil maps published by the Survey of India are in a scale of 1:2,000,000. You can even find some of these maps online at the website of the European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC). But be aware of the fact that units of the NBSS&LUP maps are soil associations, and would not help you find the exact soil taxonomic type. The SoI soil maps, besides being at a rather small scale, show information only at the great group level. So, in a nutshell, I agree with what Dr Pal said in the beginning: Do a soil description, take samples and classify the soil yourself or entrust someone who is qualified to do the same.

Better to visit the site developed by NBSS&LUP, Nagpur. http://14.139.123.73/bhoomigeoportal/index.html

Then locate your site using state and district level soils data and find the the taxonomy of the area you are willing to.

All the best

Thanks, it is important topic.

In order to classify soils in a particular area, the knowledge on site and pedon characteristics are more important besides climatic features of the area (rainfall, temperature). If you want to know more about soil classification refer the book entitled "Keys to Soil Taxonomy" published by USDA.

Sorry I dont know the latest position of digital data sharing by the ICAR-NBSS&LUP; some data may be available in Bhumi Portal. You may write to the Director, NBSS&LUP requesting him to update you. Good day!

Can you mention the name of area like district or block where you are interested. You can get the soil information at 1:250K scale on Bhoomi geoportal on NBSS website. All the best@ Prava Kiran Dash

Thank you sir (RP Sharma sir) for your response to (Prava Kiran). In that relevance I wanted to know soil information of two blocks 1. Narayanpur and 2. Rajgarh of Mirzapur district in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

I would be happy to know about soil taxonomy and related information of these blocks. Many thanks once again sir.

Dear Pradeep Kumar Dubey

Go to Bhoomi geoportal

on left side select Administrative boundary

Then select district or select block

You will show the dist or block boundary.

Then go to soils 1:250K

locate you location and double click on the polygon

you will get the soil taxonomy of the area you have clicked.

And other available information can also be seen for your use.

All the best

R P Sharma
