| Abstract |
Adlai (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) is a nutritious and adaptable grain crop that is gaining popularity because of its resilience and advantages to one's health. This study presents the suitability maps and ...spatial data using Geographic Information System (GIS) for the cultivation of adlai grits under several sets of criteria encompassing the biophysical, economic profile, and climatic conditions in the province of Agusan del Sur. Nine experts in the field responded and used the results of an Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) to generate suitability ratings. The results showed that biophysical factors accounted for 66% of suitability, economic factors for 10%, and climatic factors for 24%. Suitability was classified into four classes: High, Moderate, Low, and Not Suitable. In Agusan del Sur, 25.4% (203,714 ha.) of the land is highly suitable, 41.7% (333,524 ha.) is moderately suitable, and 26.2% has a low suitability rating for adlai grits farming. There are also 6.83% (54,785.26 ha.) of areas not suitable for farming. Overall, 93.17% of the province's total area is suitable for AGC, which is 747,526.89 ha out of 802,312.06 ha.show more
