The study was conducted in south west Gaab El lagiya area, 35 Km, North-west Dongola City (Gaab El lagiya Site) Northern State – Sudan, during 10 – 22 January 2019 to evaluate the soil salinity, Alkalinity and land suitability for alfalfa cultivation by using Remote sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) used in the field. This area was characterized by high groundwater table (level) to less than 60 cm from the soil surface where the water evaporates from the soil surface as a result of high temperatures in desert region, leaving accumulations of salt on the soil surface, which hindered the growth and development of vegetation cover in the study area. Soil grid system of observation auger and profile were done. One auger for (46 feddans) about to have = 116 augers sites for 2depths (0-30cm, 30- 60cm and, vertical and horizontal distance between the Auger sites is 500 meters. Digging and description of soil profiles for the soil unites (indicated by the interpretation of satellite images and Sudan Land Cover maps), to have about 09 profiles covering all the soil unites Soil analysis information (Evaluation Classification & Land Suitability) based on USDA System of classification and WRG. The physical and chemical analysis were carried to investigate the following parameters; The soil salinity used Electrical conductivity (Ece), Soil reaction (pH), sodium adsorption Ratio (SAR), percentage calcium carbonates, mechanical analysis &the textural class. The results revealed that, the pH level (average values) of all samples analyzed are high, slightly to high salinity, slightly to high alkaline, none sodicity and low moisture content, the surface soil is sandy and sandy loams and the sub soil is loamy sand <60 cm depth, excessively drained with clay content < 20%. The study recommended that the soil and environment in the study area were not suitable for alfalfa cultivation.
