The Agricultural Potential of a Region with Semi-Dry, Warm and Temperate Subhumid Climate Diversity through Agroecological Zoning

The sustainability of the natural resources used in agricultural production is essential to meet future food needs population. It necessary understand characteristics climate and soil changes through agroclimatic zoning models, even with non-existent or limited climatic edaphic databases, avoid a decline production. objective study was determine accuracy Global Agroecological Zoning (GAEZ), ECOCROP Papadakis models for major cereals, vegetables fruit trees state Nuevo León, Mexico, using databases stations profiles collected by INEGI random sampling field. model best projection ECOCROP, which predicted 37,609 km2 irrigated area sorghum 34,796 wheat, addition identifying rainfed areas higher suitability beans measuring 8470 orange 6175 predictions based on field information. In conclusion, thematic maps obtained had an greater than 50% more half crops analyzed, making it method area. Therefore, decisions producers must be directed towards cereal projected area; however, establish updating program generate edaphoclimatic that support projections verified
