The escalating trend of land degradation poses a significant challenge, especially in sloping agricultural terrains, driven by the increasing global demand for food and limited availability flat arable land. In response to these challenges, farmers are compelled shift their focus towards cultivating terrains. This research aimed employ comprehensive methodology that integrates on-site field surveys, meticulous laboratory soil analyses, geospatial data mapping erodibility. parameters under scrutiny encompass various crucial aspects, including texture (ranging from coarse sand very fine sand, silt, clay), structure, organic matter content, permeability. examination factors serves as foundation calculating erodibility, utilizing well-established Wischmeir Smith formula developed 1978. findings present nuanced understanding erodibility study location, revealing spectrum spanning low high Specific units, such Unit 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, exhibit contrast, 4, 6, 14, 15 showcase moderate while units like 5, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18 characterized moderately These insightful results shed light on diverse levels within studied locations provide valuable guidance formulating sustainable management practices.
