Abstract

The area studied in this paper is situated in Abu-Ghraib, 20 Km to the nrth east of Baghdad . it 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. t eight bands were used in an ordering of eight bands,except the sixth,are used by turn. the wavelength of each is about (0.45-12.5 μm).
The satelite Image was classified, first according to the supervised and then to the unsupervised method of classification . an extensive survey was made for the soil. Results of land evaluation using the multiplication method showed that TW565, DM95-1 soil series were very suitable for cereals and grains crops and formed about 20,26% of the total area , and DM94 was suitable for grains and moderately suitable for cereals using multiplication method and formed about 10.35% of the total area .while DM87 series was suitable for cereals and grazing using multiplication method and formed 9.68% of the total area.and DP47 series was moderately suitable for grains , and little suitable for cereals using the multiplication method and formed about 9.52% of the total area .
Series like (MM11,DM95-2,MM9,DM45) were little suitable for cereals and grazing using the multiplication method and formed about 35.32% of the total area. Soils were classified according to soil survey staff 2006, DM87,DP47,TW565,DM94 series were classified into typic torrifluvent , MM11,DM95-2,DM95-1 series classified into vertic torrifluvent and DM45,MM9 classified into typic Haplosalids.
