Agricultural capability and soil fertility in the region of Djebel El Ouahch, Constantine, Algeria
Abstract
This work, entitled “agricultural capability and soil fertility in the region of Djebel El ouahch”, describes the work carried out and the results obtained after a soil study carried out in the context of the agro-soil study project in the region of Djebel El Ouahch, Constantine. The purpose of this project was to undertake a study to determine soil resources for use in agricultural development. Soil mapping has shown the existence of three types of soils: calcimagnesic, brown, and isohumic. Dry cultivation was indicated for each type of soil. More than 80% of the soils are suitable for cereal and fodder crops. Tree crops are to be excluded except for rustic trees adopted with fine texture.
