1 Appendix I SOIL RATING CHART (Storie soil Index Rating = factor A* factor B* factor C* factor X) FACTOR A- Rating on character of Physical Profile Sr. No Particulars Percentage I Soil on recent alluvial fans. Flood plains or other secondary deposits having undeveloped profiles 100 X- Shallow phases (on consolidated Material) 2feet deep X-shallow phases (on consolidated Material) 3feet deep 70 g- extremely gravelly sub soils s-stratified clay sub soils II Soils on young alluvial fans. Floods plains or other secondary deposits having slightly developed Profiles X- Shallow phases (on consolidated Material) 2feet deep X- Shallow phases (on consolidated Material) 3feet deep 70 g- extremely gravelly sub soils s-stratified clay sub soils III Soils on older alluvial fans. Alluvial plains or terraces having moderately developed profiles (moderately dense sub soils) X- Shallow phases (on consolidated Material) 2feet deep X- Shallow phases (on consolidated Material) 3feet deep g- extremely gravelly sub soils IV Soil on older plains or terraces having Strongly develop profiles (dense clay sub soils) Soils on older plains or terraces having hard pan sub soil layers 40-80

2 Sr. No Particulars Percentage at less than 1 foot 5-20 at 1 to 2feet at 2 to 3feet at 3to 4feet at 4to 6feet VI VII VIII IX Soils on older terraces and upland areas having dense clay sub soils resting on moderately consolidated or consolidated material Soils on upland areas underlain by hard igneous bed rock at less than 1 foot at 1 to 2feet at 2 to 3feet at 3to 4feet at 4to 6feet At more than 6 feet 100 Soils on upland areas underlain by consolidated sedimentary roc at less than 1foot at 1 to 2feet at 2 to 3feet at 3to 4feet at 4to 6feet at more than 6 feet 100 Soils on upland areas underlain by softly consolidated material at less than 1feet at 1 to 2feet at 2 to 3feet at 3to 4feet at 4to 6feet at more than 6 feet 100

3 FACTOR B- Rating basis of surface structure I Medium Textured Percentage Fine sandy loam 100 Loam 100 Silt loam 100 Sandy loam 95 Silty clay loam, calcareous 95 Silty clay loam non calcareous 90 Clay loam, calcareous 95 Clay loam non calcareous II Heavy or fine textured Percentage Silty clay, high calcareous Silty clay non calcareous Clay, highly calcareous Clay, non calcareous III Light or coarse textured Percentage Coarse sandy loam 90 Loamy sand 80 Very fine sand 80 Fine sand 65 Sand 60 Coarse sand 30-60

4 IV Gravelly Percentage Gravelly fine sandy loam Gravelly loam Gravelly silt loam Gravelly sandy loam Gravelly clay loam Gravelly clay Gravelly sand V Stony Percentage Stony fine Sandy loam Stony loam Stony silt loam Stony sandy loam Stony clay loam Stony clay Stony sand Below 10
