Abstract

The study area of this research is located in Abu-Ghraib( 20 Km to the north east of Baghdad) . is about 4299.273 ha and lies between coordinates 33o 20`35.03, 33o 20`52.28 N, and 44o 10` 47.04, 44o 16` 59.41 E. Eight bands were used in an ordering of eight bands,except the sixth,are used by turn. The wavelengths of each about (0.45-12.5 μm). The satelite image was classified, first according to the unsupervised and then to the supervised classification methods. A semi detail survey was carried out for the study area.Results of land evaluation using the addition method showed that TW565 series was moderatly suitable for wheat and barley crops and non suitable for zea mays crop and accounting 9.79% of the total area , and DM95-1 series was moderatly suitable for wheat crop and very suitable for barley crop and non suitable for zea mays crop and accounting 10.47% of the total area and the same results for the DM94 series that accounting 10.35% of total area .While DM87 series was very suitable for wheat and barley cropes and suitable for zea mays crop and accounting 9.68% of total area . A DP47 series was non suitable for wheat and barley crops and less suitable for zea mays crop and accounting 9.52% of total area. Series(MM11,DM95-2,MM9,DM45) were non suitable for wheat , barley and zea mays crops and accounting 35.32% of total area
