Sažetak

For planning fruit production development in on area assessment of envi-ronmental conditions suitability for fruit trees cultivation is particularly important because fruit trees remain at the same place for many years. The main goal of the research presented in this paper was to determine the characteristics of the Lašva valley agricultural soils / lands as an important ecological factor for fruit production. Within that framework the evaluation of agricultural soils / lands for fruit production and areas inventory were made. In addition to soil characteristics climate and topography features were determined too. The suitability evaluation was made according to FAO method (FAO, 1976) by using agrozones in the Lašva valley for the area up to 800 m above the sea level. The results of the suitability assessment showed that in the total area of the Lašva valley agricultural land ( up to 800 m asl) a significant proportion of land areas suitable for fruit production (68.1%), temporarily unsuitable (N -1) are 123 ha (0.69% ) and permanently unsuitable soils / lands (N- 2) for intensive fruit production cover 5571 ha (31.21 %). Within the class of suitable land for fruit growing was not identify P-1 class facilities. The best soils for fruit production in this area belong to P-2 class with a total area, according to the calculations of mapping units, amounting to 2.923 ha which makes 16.37% of the total agricultural land in the studied area. Soils/lands of P-3 class are the most common in the suitable agricultural lands and they cover the total area of 9.234 ha or 51.73% . The main limitations of soils/ lands for intensive fruit production in the researched area are nutrients deficiency, inclination , soil depth, soil rockiness, pH reaction and vertisol. The results of the research show that there are basic possibilities in the form of land resources for the expansion of fruit production. Further progress of fruit production is possible with the implementation of the necessary measures for the organization of the soils/lands, training farmers in modern technology use and introducing new cultivars according to the latest scientific and professional achievements.
