- W1799094835 abstract "The importance of less developed countries to increase the agricultural production, inorder to improve food supplies and generate employment and income, requires theremoval of resources constraints by improving agricultural practices and identifying landsuitable for different agricultural activities. This Minor Field Study (MFS) is made withinthe present Sida/SAREC-financed research project “Regional Development in an OpenEconomy – a comparative study of Hambantota and Gampaha districts, Sri Lanka”. Thepurpose is to investigate, by the means of both the qualitative measures of interviews andthe quantitative measures of a land suitability classification, the cultivation potential inthe study area. The study area is located within Hambantota district in the dry southeasternpart of Sri Lanka. Twenty-six interviews of farmers and administrative personnelwere performed, and the interview analysis shows that, even if it is impossible to extendthe cultivated area, it seems possible to increase the crop yield, to change between cropsand especially between wet paddy (rice plant) and banana. A point system was used inthe land suitability classification with respect to the physical and chemical requirementsof wet paddy and banana, and the classification includes the parameters of soil fertility,drainage, texture, depth and pH. The results shows that three of the five great soil groupspresent in the study area to a certain extent are suitable for paddy cultivation and that twoof the five great soil groups to a certain extent are suitable for banana cultivation. As asimple test of the classification, the percentage of the total paddy area that falls within thearea of suitable soils were calculated and resulted in the percentage value of 96.4 %.Even if there are limitations in the classification, it does fulfil the purpose of picturing thesituation, and above all, it points at the possibility of a more accurate and elaborate fuzzyland suitability classification in the future." @default.
