Abstract:

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate cultivated land fertility based on land use status map at 1∶10 000 scale combined with existing soil survey and soil sample analysis data. The evaluation results showed that spatial positioning of cultivated land distribution was a more accurate and practical situation and that the assessment unit division of cultivated land classification was more reasonable and more sophisticated, and the evaluation accuracy was greatly improved, compared to evaluation at 1∶50 000 scale implemented in the work program of testing soil for formulated fertilization in our country. The research method in this paper was beneficial for the establishment of soil testing and formulated fertilization information management systems to provide detailed basic information and scientific management of farmland. It can better meet farmland information needs on precision agriculture and fertilizer management for agricultural production．

Key words: land use investigation, cultivated land fertility, fertility evaluation, testing soil for formulated fertilization
