Item Zonificación de áreas para siembra de cultivos frutales (“Guayaba, Lulo, Plátano y Aguacate”), priorizados en el Valle del Cauca(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024-05-31) Rendon Valencia, José Luis; Bedoya Duque, Harold Andrés; Cabezas, Diego FernandoThis study was conducted in recognition of the vital importance of agriculture in the economy and cultural identity of the department of Valle del Cauca. The main purpose of this research is to provide tools that make a significant contribution to the decision-making process regarding the public investment designed to strengthen this key agricultural sector. To achieve this goal, a thorough methodology of multi-criteria analysis was implemented, focused on the evaluation and classification of available information about climatic and edaphic data for the Department of Valle del Cauca. The prioritization of four fruit species, namely Guava, Lulo, Plantain and Avocado, was carried out considering their relevance in the agricultural context of this Department. In the Climatic phase, precipitation, temperature, relative humidity and sunlight (hours/day) data were integrated, while for the Edaphological component, slope and erosion data were analyzed. The mapping of the spatial distribution of these variables was executed applying IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting) Interpolation Method Using ArcGIS Pro, resulting in specialized maps at a detailed scale of 1:25,000. This careful process allowed the delimitation of areas by polygons, considering Climatic and Edaphic variables. The resulting cartography showing the areas with productive suitability was structured on a scale of four categories. The finished product of this research consists of Crop Suitability Maps, for the four species of fruit trees in the department of Valle del Cauca. This classification, which is of great relevance in regional agricultural planning, is presented as an essential component for territorial planning projects, predicting a positive and sustainable impact in the region.
