| dc.description | The quality and availability of soil and water resources, together with crop management, determine the potential for crop production. The assessment of crop suitability is an important factor in determining which crops to cultivate to improve yield and reduce risk. In the current climate change context, this assessment becomes even more important. The following parameters are considered with regard to climate: temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, sunshine hours, and wind speed. These are transformed into agroclimatic regimes relevant for crop growth. Soil nutrient availability and nutrient retention, soil oxygen availability, available rooting volume, the presence of soluble and less soluble salts (lime, gypsum) and soil workability are taken into account to determine the edaphic suitability of crops. With regard to terrain, the altitude and the slope of the land are inventoried where these affect the physical and chemical properties of the soil and thus have an impact on the management levels that can be applied. | |
