Abstract

Soil is considered as one of the main factors in the production of agricultural products, To carry out this research, an area of ​​50,000 hectares is selected in Ghaderabad plain. Ghaderabad plain is one of the important and prone areas of Kerman province for the cultivation of crops, and the selection of a suitable planting pattern can be effective in the optimal use of water and soil resources. In order to carry out the project, soil samples were prepared up to a depth of 150 cm, and the necessary physical and chemical tests were performed on the samples. After completing the field operations and receiving the results of the laboratory analysis of the soil samples, it has been determined the type and amount of restrictions in each of the components of the land units and for each of the main uses. Finally, using Excel software, some characteristics of soil profiles such as hydraulic conductivity, percentage of lime, organic carbon and clay in cultivated and virgin lands were compared and the effect of land use change was evaluated. Examining the changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil after the change of use can not only represent the effects and consequences of this transformation, but it can also be a guide in determining how to face this problem and prevent further degradation and destruction of the soil.
