The present study was undertaken to assess the status of soil pH, EC and OC in one hundred and eighty soil samples collected from different land use systems of district Doda. A soil survey was conducted in the month of April, 2016 to assess soil pH, EC and OC. Composite surface soil samples were collected using stratified random sampling method at a depth of 0-15 cm from Agriculture, Barren lands and at a depth of 1 metre from Forest, Horticulture of district Doda. The exact sample location was recorded using a handheld GPS receiver. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Inverse distance weighting (IDW) technique was adopted to generate prediction maps of these soil properties. | Assessment of soil pH, EC and OC in different land use systems of Doda district, J&K, India
