Data of land evaluation revealed that, soils under consideration, mainly, suffering from texture, salinity and sodicity, can be recorded highly suitable class with regard to potential suitability by application more suitable irrigation systems, favorable managements and cultivation appropriate crops.
More suitable crops follows the following descending order:
Sorghum > barley > cotton > olive > wheat > alfalfa > maize.
