Abstract

Quantified land evaluation of soils at Kafr El–sheikh governorate in north delta was carried out. These soils represent the area of Rewena canal and located between Kafr El–Sheikh and Sidi Salem district. Land capability and suitability for different crops was made through defining and determining soil physical, chemical properties and environmental properties as well as nutrients status. The quality of irrigation water was also determined as well as climatic data.
ASLE program (Applied System of Land Evaluation) was used for calculating land capability and there suitability for different vegetable, crops and fruits with a total of 28 plants.
Results indicate that the studied area was classified into two land capability classes: class 2 (good) and class 3 (faire).
Limitation factors for land capability were the relatively low soil permeability, shallow ground water table in some parts, the relative increment of soil salinity in others, as well as ground water salinity and low levels of soil organic matter and nutrients especially NPK.
Concerning land suitability, different crops can be grown in these soils except pepper, Olive, Fig and Peanut, while the suitable crops could be arranged by preference as: Barely < Wheat <  Sugar beet < Sunflower < Cotton <Rice.
