Soil texture and lime can be considered as amongst the most important soil characteristics, which are considered in many agricultural and environmental projects. Today, with the scientific progress and the advent of remote sensing technology, the possibility of exploiting this technology in soil science has also been provided. In this study, for the analysis of soil texture and lime in the Pol Dokhtar area, the four-spectral data for September 7, 2007 prepared by IRS-P6 satellite with LISS III sensors were used. Geometric corrections and processes including UNC, SLED, NDVI, PCA, were performed on the main image. Finally, using randomized sampling method and based on PMU, FCC image of the region, 95 points were selected and samples were taken from two depths of 0-5 and 20-5 cm. Finally, using multiple regression, it was found that the lime and clay of samples at the first depth had a significant relationship with the near infrared band with modified R2 =0.73, and in the green band it was 0.72, and also at the second depth, with a red band of 0.54 and a green band of 0.48, of which all relationships were statistically significant at 1% statistical level. Consequently it was found that clay and lime have a significant effect on the spectral reflection from the soil surface in the region, and it is possible to study them in the region using satellite data and auxiliary data (incidental information).
