The main objective of this work is to identify land capability and suitability in the studied area. To determine the major physiographic units in the area, Software ENVI 5.2 was used to process the "Landsat OlI 8" images and digital elevation model. Morphological descriptions for forty soil profiles were conducted as well as soil samples for physical and chemical analysis.. The current land capability of the area was classified into three classes fair (C3), poor (C4) and very poor (C5) which represent about 93.5, 1.5 and 5.0 % of the total area. The current suitability classes for the selected study crops. These data indicate that 65 % of the study area is classified as marginally suitable (S3) and 35 % is classified as current not suitable for wheat of the study area, 97 % is classified as marginally suitable (S3) and 3 % is classified as current not suitable for barely, 85 % of the study area is classified as marginally suitable (S3) and 15 % is classified as current not suitable for sunflower, 84 % of the study area is classified as marginally suitable (S3) and 16 % is classified as current not suitable for cabbage and 100 % is classified as current not suitable for sorghum, citrus, plum, potato and Alfalfa.
