| Abstract | ||
| The research aims to assess the suitability of Wheat cultivation in North Al-Jezira Irrigation Project Nineveh Governorate at the actual and in the potential after major improvements possible. By using remote sensing to classify land use and land cover, also using geographic information systems for input and save the data to building data bank of land resources and land characteristics relate to the land evaluation, also the requirements and limitations for the cultivation of Wheat in the study area, in the processing and building computer model for the evaluated and classification of land suitability actual and potential for the Wheat cultivation in the study area, then display the results which showed that the actual land suitability classification for Wheat cultivation in the study area Is S1, S1-S2 ,S2 ,S2-S1, S3, which occupies area of 44%, 17%, 35, 2%, 2% respectively for each class, it is possible improvements and reclamation some of the limitation for the cultivation of Wheat in the future to change the land index . | ||
