| heal.abstract |
A geographical information system is presented that was developed for the automatic evaluation of the suitability of soil for selected agricultural uses. The properties that are used for soil evaluation are those included in the mapping symbols of the Greek soil maps. The land evaluation rules stored in the system were derived from the corresponding literature, the field experts and from local experience. The computerised system allows users to select an area, to evaluate the suitability of its soils for a number of crops and to present the results of the evaluation in a very straightforward manner. The soils of Karditsa in the area of Thessalia in central Greece were evaluated for growing cotton and the results of the evaluation are presented as an application example of the operation of the system. The system can be used for a fast, easy and consistent evaluation of existing soil maps in order to help agricultural extension services in land use planning and management without the necessity for advice from specialists. |
