Parametric Assessment of Land Capability and Suitability for Some Crops Using Advanced Techniques.

Abstract: The current work aims at employing the advanced techniques; GIS and computerized mathematical models for land evaluation, to assess the land capability and suitability of large areas. The area of El-Ismaillia Governorate was chosen as a study area. Sixteen soil profiles, that covered most of the soil types of the area, were selected and characterized. The characterization results were input to ALES-Arid land evaluation software. The outputs revealed that the land capability class C3 (Fair) included most of the… Show more

“…For this reason, there is no need to map the capability classes in the study area. These limiting factors will decrease the possible kinds of crops for cultivation, and when cultivating these soils, it will need careful management and maintenance practices to improve and maintain their properties (Ghabour et al, 2008). However, some of these limitations such as CEC and alkalinity can be easily addressed by some good practices such as adding organic matter to improve the soil's ability to hold water and nutrients and reduce the value of soil pH.…”

“…These GISbased methods are considered a powerful tool for suitability analysis due to their ability to analyze and process the data of spatial layers (Kunda et al, 2013). Integrating this method with GIS for suitability evaluation could support decision-makers in land use planning (Ghabour et al, 2008;Belal and Al-Ashri, 2011;Kumar et al, 2009). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was developed by Saaty (1980) and has been widely used since then in different fields (Al-Barqawi and Zayed, 2008).…”
