Sažetak
Raising of orchards and vineyards, as economically very lucrative and interesting plant growths, is even more appealing, through the subsidies given by the government, through the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Croatia. The subsidies are given based on results of pedochemical analyses. These analyses lacking some important information, vital for land suitability, which is not corresponding enough with high investments for raising orchards and vineyards. Proposed land suitability model will identify previously missing critical attributes for land suitability, such as altitude, inclination and exposition and soil nutrients limiting values. So, the base of the land suitability for potential subsidy applicants will be the map of the area with all relevant information needed for educate decision about sustainability of orchard or vineyard establishment.
