Agricultural University, The basic objective of the soil-testing programme is to give farmers a service leading to better Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, and more economic use of fertilizers and better soil management practices for increasing India agricultural production. Nitrogen is one of the most important major nutrient as well as Darshana Chawada expensive input in agricultural production, which is closely associated with growth and Department of Agricultural development of plants. It plays an important role in plant metabolism by virtue of being an Chemistry and Soil Science, essential constituent of structural component of the cell and many metabolically active C.P. College of Agriculture, compounds. Phosphorus is facilitating plant nutrient as it is involved in a wide range of plant S.D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, processes, from permitting division to development of a good root system ensuring timely and India uniform ripening of crop. Potassium is well known for its ability to improve crop quality and its role in combating a variety of climatic and biological stress. Potassium has been, thus rightly called by many other names such as a root booster, stalk strengthener, food former, an enzyme activator, a breathing regulator, water stretcher, sugar and starch transporter, protein builder, wilt reducer and disease retardant. Materials and Methods To assess the available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in soils of Banaskantha district, total 556 representative surface soil samples were collected from farmer’s fields of each taluka of Banaskantha district during 2016. One representative surface sample was collected from field upto a depth of 0 to 15 cm by zig-zag method. About forty soil samples were collected from 14 talukas of Banaskantha district during April-2016. The soil samples were air dried in shade. The soil samples, after air drying were ground with wooden mortar and pestle and Correspondence passed through 2.0 mm sieve. The prepared samples were stored in polyethylene lined cloth Chena Panchal G bags with proper labels. The soil samples were brought to laboratory for further analysis.

Pandya 1 M.E. Student, Department of Environmental Engineering, L.D. College of Engineering, Gujarat Technological University, Ahmedabad, India 2 Assistant Professor, Department of Environmental Engineering, L.D. College of Engineering, Gujarat Technological University, Ahmedabad, India 3 Space Applications Centre (ISRO), Ahmedabad Corresponding Author email: [email protected] Abstract: Land degradation, a process of reduction in the productive capacity of land, is a subtle and progressive environmental change in time. Overexploitation of natural resources by humans and climatic conditions such as prolonged drought, further aggravates land degradation in fragile ecosystems. Desertification is the continuous degradation of land in arid, semi-arid and dry sub- humid regions. Mapping and quantifying the extent and geographical distribution of degraded lands form an essential input for planning reclamation/ conservation strategies. In Banaskantha district of Gujarat, drought is a common feature causing soil moisture deficiency leading to desertification. The present study deals with mapping and assessment of land degradation and desertification status of Banaskantha district, covering 10,743 sq. km area, located in semi-arid regions of Gujarat state using remotely sensed data. Desertification in the district is assessed using visual interpretation of three season (kharif, rabi and zaid) IRS LISS III satellite data of 2011-12 timeframe in GIS environment. Desertification Status Map is prepared at 1:50,000 scale using hierarchal classification system comprising of three elements viz. land use, process of desertification and its severity.
