Land capability classes suitable for cultivation are classified as which classes?

Land capability classification is a system used to evaluate and categorize land based on its suitability for agriculture and other uses. Class I, II, III, and IV represent different levels of capability for cultivation.

Class I refers to land that has no significant limitations for agricultural use and is ideal for a wide variety of crops. Class II indicates land that has some limitations, such as moderate slope or drainage issues, but is still suitable for many types of cultivation. Class III land has more significant limitations that may require management practices to maintain productivity, while Class IV land has serious limitations, such as poor drainage or soil conditions, which may restrict its use for certain crops but can still be used for cultivation under careful management.

Classes V and higher are typically limited in their suitability for cultivation due to factors like severe erosion, flooding, or other challenges that restrict their agricultural productivity. Therefore, the range of Class I, II, III, and IV encompasses the land that can still be used productively for farming, making this classification the most appropriate for identifying land suitable for cultivation.
