Wheat terrain requirement for land evaluation

Source: R/WHEATTerrain.R

A dataset containing the terrain characteristics of the crop requirements for farming Wheat.

Format

A data frame with 6 rows and 8 columns

Details

The following are the factors for evaluation:

  • Slope1 - Slope (%) (1. Irrigrated agriculture, basin furrow irrigation)

  • Slope2 - Slope (%) (2. High level of managemnet with full mechanization. )

  • Slope3 - Slope (%) (3. Low level of managemnet animal traction or handwork.)

  • Flood - Flooding (1 - No Flood, 2 - short time, 3 - Long time)

  • Drainage4 - Drainage 1-good, 2-moderate, 3-imperfect, 4-poor (1-good, 2-moderate, 3-imperfect, 4-poor)(Medium and fine textured soils)

  • Drainage5 - Drainage 1-good, 2-moderate, 3-imperfect, 4-poor (1-good, 2-moderate, 3-imperfect, 4-poor)(Coarse textured soils - Sandy families)
