ABSTRACT
Research has shown that mapping plays a vital role in monitoring the soil and its irrigation in any given farmland. Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) are helpful in mapping the location of a particular land with crops. This study was conducted to assess the
type of soils and the best crops to be planted in a particular location. Soils are tested using soils analysis test to determine its nutrient
parameters such as pH level, Organic Matters (OM), Potassium (K) and Phosphorous (P). The crops to be planted in the location will
vary on the pH level of the soil, and results will be map in the crops mapping system. Crops Mapping System (CMS) is a mapping tool
that helps farmers and agriculturist to search crops planted in a specific area. Based on the evaluation conducted, it shows that 62.5% of
the respondent’s responses are “Agree” which signifies that they agree on the overall functionalities of the system. The study
recommended that the developed crop mapping system would be implemented online using web-based system. Aside from that, the
developed user interface design of the prototype could also be enhanced using a multimedia software. Lastly, it will be implemented in
a mobile applications.
