Abstract:
Food security in Egypt is one of the most important issues of the interest of the Egyptian government to face population growth. The north west coast (NWC) has a large area that can be added to the national agricultural projects for achieving the sustainable development .The aimed to evaluate soil capability and suitability for crop production using MicroLEIS DSS approach. The study area located between Ras El Hekma ,Marsa Matrouh, El Negilla and Sidi Barrani , between longitudes 25° 44` and 27° 55` E, latitudes 30° 58` and 31° 22` N . The soil was evaluated based the variation of their physical, chemical properties, geomorphological characteristics in addition, the climate parameters. The results showed that, the soils were classified into two classes using CERVATANA model; Moderate capability (S3r) for most soil profiles where, the limiting factor was the soil erosion and (S3Ir) as the limiting factor was soil. on the other hand the soil suitability for crop using (ALMAGRA) model was suitability (S2) that covers an area of ranges between 41.17 % ( ~7880.2 hectare) for peach and citrus to 76.47% (~14936.5 hectare) for olive. moderately suitable (S3), has few limiting factors, marginally suitable (S4) and not suitable (S5) that has several limiting factors such as coarse texture and hard pan layers near the surface, this class occupies an area of about 3000 hectares. The study demonstrated that
