<br/><br/> The interference area adjacent to the Nile Vally and El-Fayoum governorate is the most prospective area for agriculture expansion in Egypt. Soil properties and land suitability for cultivation of various crops are the main steps for this goal. To realize this object 16 soil profiles representing the main physiographic units have been selected. The main physiographic units are old terraces, Young terraces, alluvial fan basin, alluvial plain (locally terraced) and alluvial plain. The well defined soil parameters used to estimate the suitability index for each crop were; texture class including gravel percent, soil depth, salinity status, calcium carbonate and gypsum content, drainage conditions and slope. The essential requirements for 15 crops have been included in the calculated indices.
