Daphar plantation was surveyed at detailed level. The normal procedure of such surveys viz a viz grid basis was not adhered to; rather problematic spots were given special attention. Nine soil series were characterized and mapped. Potential of each soil series towards suitability for irrigated plantation was assessed. The soils were classified according to the modified land capacity classification system of USDA (Ashraf et al, 1970). It was estimated that more than 70% area was first class land under irrigation; about 20% was second class land under irrigation and about 10% was class three land under irrigation. From the survey it was concluded that about 90% of the area under plantation could be used for fast growing soft wood industrial species.
