Abstract

First time in the Republic of Croatia was worked out soil suitability map for cultivation purposes at the scale of 1:300 000. The map was done according to Basic Soil Map of the Republic of Croatia at the scale of 1:50 000 and many local detailed soil maps worked out last 30 years. The soil mapping units were assessed according to their farming suitability, in accordance with FAO methods and criteria of land evaluation. The map was done by computer technology in the digital form with the corresponding database, and this is the first digital map covering this subject in Croatia. The database consists of all data referring to soil mapping units – pedological contours, and of the data referring to soil profiles.
