| Abstract | ||||
| The current study aims at estimating the land suitability of some soils in Egypt for wheat cultivar, which is known as salinity tolerant. The northern part of the Delta was sampled by ten profiles to represent various levels of soil salinity. Two evaluation meth+ods were applied. The obtained data show that land suitability indices for Sakha-93 cultivar range between 9.18 and 85.73 according to Stohe method and between 13.55 and 89.77 by applying the Square Root method. The variations of land suitability indices are mainly attributed to soil salinity. Therefore, the present study shows the need for wheat cultivar which may tolerate higher soil salinity levels. | ||||
