Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the slope suitability and agricultural production of Lidder valley.Slope as an important geomorphic aspect has profound influenceon the production of different food crops of the region. The slope imposes restriction on the use of machinery and irrigation facilities in higher reaches of the valley. The agricultural activities of the study are mostly controlled by slope because of its hilly terrain. Lidder valley in the production of food grains has made a grand progress during the past two decades. The area under food grains varies in different slope categories. The regional variations in the production of food grains are related mostly to slope aspect,climatic conditions, adequate irrigational facilities and socioeconomic factors, improvement in production technologies, improved seeds, higher use of fertilizers, insect and pest control and better management practices are helping to get higher levels of production

Keywords: Slope, Irrigation, Production, Machinery, Fertilizers, Lidder valley.
