Geographical analysis of the cultivation wheat and barley crops in Al-Saniyah district and their impact of climatic characteristics on it (Studies in agricultural geography)

Abstract

Research Abstract: Agriculture is one of the human activities that are most affected by the elements of the climate, so that it has become in one way or another controlling the types of crops that can be grown here or there, and its importance in agricultural production is highlighted By determining the extent of compatibility and suitability between them and the appropriate climatic requirements for the cultivation of each crop, especially wheat and barley crops Otherwise, agriculture is considered a risk or may be completely absent, not to mention the weak ability of man to change the natural factors, especially the climate in question or the requirements of his crops compared to humanity, except to a limited extent and at exorbitant costs .Therefore, agriculture is one of the most important and complex economic activities with which it determines the types of crops and the level of production in terms of quantity and quality  Thus, the research focused on studying these elements and their impact on the cultivation of wheat and barley crops, and compared them with the requirements of each Where these two crops are among the most important and most widespread crops in terms of area in the ALQadisiyah governorate in general and in the Sunni district, especially in its agricultural districts with an area of (210) km2 and an estimated population of(475,469)people In order to understand the links of problem, By analyzing the available data about the research problem(independent  variables)and comparing them of wheat and barley cultivation(the dependent variable)and the extent of compatibility and appropriateness between them This was followed by the geographical distribution of them in order to of area, production and productivity for the period(2010-2020)according to the agricultural provinces and concluded with conclusions and proposals.
