Abstract: Hydraulic properties of soil depends on their texture which represents the relative proportion of sand, silt and clay particles in the soil. An android application was developed to find the soil texture based on GPS location of the mobile user. The application find the texture based on the position of location specific dot on the colour coded map of soil texture of Haryana state. The app then shows texture based saturated hydraulic conductivity, moisture content at field capacity, moisture content at wilting point and available soil moisture and calculates the irrigation depth required for major crop based on root zone depth and pre defined moisture deficit in the soil. The application was developed on freely available MIT App Inventor web platform.
