Matching the right crops to the soil’s condition and the regional climate is crucial for successful cultivation. Even after amending the soil, it’s wise to choose crops that will thrive in the existing soil type (sand, clay, loam, etc.), moisture regime, nutrient status, and climate (tropical, temperate, arid, or cold). Below, we provide guidance on which crops are best suited for various soil reading combinations and scenarios, taking into account global soil types and climate zones. This will help maximize yields and reduce crop stress by playing to the strengths of the soil or by tolerating its limitations.
