In the present study, seven typical pedons of Samudrapur block of Wardha district, Maharashtra were evaluated for their soil-site suitability to cotton, pigeon pea, soybean, sorghum, and chickpea. Soil resource inventory at 1:10,000 scale was developed by establishing the soil-landform relationship. Seven soil series were identified with phases from the eight landform units. Soil-site suitability evaluation for crops forms an essential part of land use planning programme. Several soil and site characteristics are used as parameters for assessing the suitability of land for crops in land evaluation exercise. As per the developed criteria Marda pedon was moderate to marginally suitable, Khursapar were marginally to not suitable, Sonegaon was marginally suitable, Tadgaon, Kora and Umri
