- Abstract
The territory of Romania presents a high diversity of ecological conditions determined by the variability of the atmospheric and edaphic factors, which strongly influence the agricultural production. Due to increasing land use pressures, soil quality assessment studies have been undertaken over time to fuel the increase in crop productivity concomitantly with the development of good agricultural practices. The local wheat crop is predominantly covered by native varieties, obtained by the Romanian researchers. The main use of wheat is represented by the production of bakery, and the quality of the final product is directly influenced by the physicochemical of the raw materials. Unlike most scientific studies that assess the yields according to soil quality, this paper identifies the suitable areas for wheat cultivation according to the quality of the product, the productivity per hectare and the average price of the production, using principal component analysis and clustering techniques.
