suitable (SI), moderately suitable (S2), marginally 
suitable (S3) and not at all suitable (N). The criteria for 
site suitability for teak plantation are mentioned in table 
and the results are shown in Fig. 1. 
Doon Valley 
Similar study was carried out in parts of Doon 
Valley. All the soil association units were evaluated for 
wheat, summer paddy and forestry. Four suitability 
classes namely highly suitable (SI), moderately suitable 
(S2) marginally suitable (S3) and not suitable (N) were 
considered (FAO 1976). All the soil units and their land 
properties were evaluated for wheat, summer paddy and 
forestry by using the querry shell of ARC/INFO G1S.
