Land Suitability Analysis for Sustainable Production of Selected Cereals in Southeastern Ethiopia

Table 12

Growing period rainfall-based land suitability for wheat and barley farming.

Crops	Land characteristics	Requirements (LUR)	Samples	Area (ha)	Area (%)	Class
Wheat	Mean TGP rainfall (cm)	60–75	0	0.00	0.00	S1
		45–60 and 75–90	15	207.87	100.00	S2
		30–45 and 90–105	0	0.00	0.00	S3
		<30 and >105	0	0.00	0.00	N
Barley	Mean TGP rainfall (cm)	60–75	0	0.00	0.00	S1
		45–60 and 75–90	15	207.87	100.00	S2
		30–45 and 90–105	0	0.00	0.00	S3
		<30 and >105	0	0.00	0.00	N

Note. TGP = total growing period; LUR°=°requirement.
