A review on soil-site suitability evaluation for vegetable crops

Abstract

Land evaluation procedure given by FAO for soil site suitability for various land utilization type has been used to access the land suitability for various vegetable crops. Soil suitability evaluation analysis allows identifying the limiting factor for production of vegetable crops and enables decision makers to develop crop management and able to increase land productivity. The results of earlier study showed that land evaluation is the process of predicting the use potential of land on the basis of its attributes. The results of earlier findings are intended to be used for land resource related decision making, both strategic land use planning by the direct land users, that is, the farmers.
