Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the Morphological, physical and chemical properties of some soils in study area in province of Basrah, using Remote sensing Technique Satellite image Land Sat 8 OLI, Contour line and Geographic Information System (GIS) to delineate the land form units in area, which was checked and completed through field observation to generate a preliminary soil Mapping units. Ten profiles were taken to represent the different mapping units. The process of land evaluation using the proposals of Sys et al., (1993) requires information about the land and climate characteristics and their conformity with the requirements of crops for these proposals. The results indicated that the lands of the study area are classified according to their suitability for the production of selected crops as Suitable (S1), Moderately Suitable (S2) to cultivate Wheat and Barley with 34.58% and 65.42% respectively. The main limiting factorsare the salinity factor, followed by calciumcarbonate content factor.
