Land suitability classification system for Hevea brasiliensis cultivation in Vietnam
Material type:
TextPublication details: IRRDB Symposium on Natural Rubber(Hevea brasiliensis) V.1- General, Soils and Fertilization and Breeding and Selection Sessions. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 14-15 October 1997, p29-34Subject(s): Summary: In 1990, the Rubber Research Institute of Vietnam designed a particular and complete system of soil classification for rubber cultivation in Vietnam under the Government Programme for Research and Technical Applications for Rubber Development (coded Program 40A). This followed five years of testing and trials based on the soil suitability classification system of the FAO. This new system is a multiplicative system in which the suitability of climate and soil is calssified using the product of indices of climate and soil characteristics. In this system, the suitability of land for rubber cultivation is easily classified through combinations of climate and soil classes. Nine climatic parameters and ten soil characteristics were selected for evaluation.
