Abstract

Identifying optimal use of resources and in line with the Production Capacity of any land is an important step in achieving sustainable development while preserving the ecological system. The purpose of this study is to determine the quality, quantity and economic suitability of Torbat Heydarieh lands (Rokh plain) in the Khorasan Razavi province for wheat (Triticum aestivum) and saffron (Crocus sativus) cultivation. For this purpose, climate condition and soil properties in the study area were compared with requirements of wheat and saffron. Thus, qualitative suitability was determined by using the FAO method and GIS according to the Parametric Method of Kalogirou. Quantitative and economic evaluation was done based on actual yield in each agricultural unit and gross profit per unit area, respectively. The results showed that in this area despite the fact that climate index and yield potential are high, but qualitative suitability is moderate because of soil properties restriction, and this restriction is higher for saffron. The results showed that quantitative suitability class is equal or higher than qualitative suitability especially for saffron. Economic results showed that saffron was more profitable than wheat, but its expansion was restricted because of soil limitations. Therefore, its cultivation is not recommended. Performing corrective actions and improving soil properties in most units can increase production efficiency.
