Adjacent to project site. 4.5 SOIL CLASSIFICATION The nature and soil type play an important role in agriculture and have direct relation with groundwater recharge. Physiography, climate, drainage and geology of the area are the factors responsible for the nature and type of soil and soil cover. The soil type also depends upon the slope and rate of erosion. Kadapa district is endowed mainly with red and black soils ranging from poor to fertile soils. The soil of the district has been classified into red ferruginous soil and black spoil. These two classes can be sub divided into clay, loam sand with finer distinctions. Red soils occupy 53% of the cultivated area and are mostly situated in L. R. Palli, Rayachoty, Rajampet, Pulivendla and Kodur Mandals. These soils have a low nutrient status. Black corson soil lands are 24%, black soil 19%, sandy soil lands 4%, red soil lands 25%. 4.6CLIMATIC DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES The climate of the study area is generally hot, humid, tropical and features fairly hot temperatures over the year except during the monsoon season. The summer season in this study area generally extends from March to June. During these months the moisture level is quite high. The coastal areas have higher temperatures than the other parts of the state. In summer, the temperature generally ranges between 20 C and 40 C. At certain places the temperature is as high as 45 degrees on a summer day. The summer is followed by the monsoon season, which starts during June and continues till September. This is the season for heavy tropical rains in the study area. The major role in determining the climate of the state is played by South-West Monsoons. About one third of the total rainfall is brought by the North-East Monsoons around the month of October in the state. The winters in the area are pleasant. October to February is the winter months. The winters are comparatively mild. The range of winter temperatures is generally from 13 C to 30 C.
