SUITABILITY CLASSES
S1 Highly Suitable - Land having no significant limitations to sustained
Bilabid application of a given use, or only minor limitations that will not signifi-
9°55' 9°55' cantly reduce productivity or benefits and will not raise inputs above
an acceptable level.

S2 Moderately Suitable - Land having limitations which in aggregate are

moderately severe for sustained application of a given use; the limitations
will reduce productivity or benefits and increase required inputs to the
extent that the overall advantage to be gained from the use, although still
Zaragoza
attractive, will be appreciably inferior to that expected on class S1 land.
Sidlakan
S3 Marginally Suitable - Land having limitations which in aggregate are
severe for sustained application of a given use and will so reduce produc-
tivity or benefits, or increase required inputs, that this expenditure will be
Aurora only marginally justified.
