Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Categorization and classification of soils under different land use system in Nagpur district” was undertaken during 2018-2020 at Nagpur. The four sites were selected based on different variation in Nagpur. This four representative pedons were selected in four different locations of the study area covering all types of soils. All the four pedons were described for their morphological features in the field and depth-wise samples collected from 20 cm depth interval and labelled properly. Munsell's colour notation of Hue, Value and Chroma were observed for all soil samples.

The four sites were selected based on different variation in Nagpur. This four representative pedons were selected in four different locations of the study area covering all types of soils. All the four pedons were described for their morphological features in the field and depth-wise samples collected from 20 cm depth interval and labelled properly. Munsell's colour notation of Hue, Value and Chroma were observed for all soil samples.
The results indicated that soils have their colour Hue10 YR, value with 2 to 6 and Bhroma 1 to 4 i.e., the soils were brownish black to dull yellow orange in colour. The soils of Nagpur district were found to be deep to very deep (pedon 1) and categorized as Vertisols is classified as typic Haplusterts whereas the shallow soil (pedon 2) categorized as Entisols and classified as typic Ustorthents. Medium to deep soil (pedon 3) categorized as Vertisols and classified as typic Haplustepts and moderately deep soil (pedon 4) categorized as Vertisols and classified as -typical Haplustepts.
