English Abstract

This study was achieved to identify capability and suitability of Altai area, Saydnaya and Rankous (Syria) for some crops.

(64) soils samples were collected from 030- cm and 3060- cm depth, which rise about 885- 2000 m above sea level ,and rainfall between 130310- mm.

The results indicated that the soils have a clayey texture.

Specific density and Bulk density were at natural levels.

Total porosity was 51.3%.

petrification ratio varied between (2.5)% in west Badda to (87.5) % in north Saydnaya.

Content of organic matter ranged from low to high.

Soil reaction was slightly alkaline (between 7.42 and 8.36), un saline soil.

Total carbonate percentage varied between (6.8)% to (67.7)%.

Fertility properties indicated that soils in north Saydnaya have the highest content of total nitrogen (0.252)%, while Saydnaya has the lowest content (0.011)% ,with low to medium concentration of the available phosphorus, and medium to very high concentration of the available potassium.

The results indicated that Aabout, third of soils are classified as good productive capacity, the rest are fair.

According to the crop suitability results, the most suitable crops to grow in the study area are, alfalfa, sunflower, rice, sugar beet barley and Apple trees in the order indicated.
