ABSTRACT
Ten soil profiles were selected to represent the main geomorphic
units in the western side of the NileDelta in order to evaluate their
physical and chemical properties of these soils to be classified, land
capability for cultivation as well as land suitability for growing crops
were carried out.
According to the Taxonomic system (2010), the soils could be
classified into three orders (Vertisols; Aridisolsand Entisols) and five
sub orders (Aquerts, Torrerts, Calcids, Psammentsand Orthens) and
their degradation up to the salinity levels ( i.e. seven families).
The current suitability of the studied soils could be categorized
into two suitability classes [i.e. moderately (S2) and marginally
suitable (S3)]. The studied soils are affected by many of limiting
factors, i.e. texture, salinity and alkalinity and calcareoresness with
variable intensity degrees.
Land suitability for certain crops can be achieved by matching
the ratings of land characteristics with the crop requirements in
different suitability levels as proposed by Sys et al (1993). The
obtained data of soil suitability for same selected crops (16 crops),
which are presented for the studied the studied soils developed on the
identified geomorphic units as land suitability guide tables, reveal that
the current suitability classes of the studied soil profiles include all
the suitable classes (S , S , S and N)
