In agriculture, agroclimatic zoning procedures through geographic information systems provide producers, technical assistants, decision‐makers, and investors with land‐use planning and decision‐making tools. This study aims at identifying and delimiting areas suitable for the cultivation of rubber [Hevea brasiliensis Willd. ex A. Juss.) Müll. Arg.] in Colombia, using the species requirements at a scale of 1:100,000, as well as identifying escape zones for the South American leaf blight (SALB) disease (caused by the fungus Pseudocercospora ulei). The study was carried out following the agroecological zoning methodology for the definition of land use proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Spatial analysis tools were used to raster data with ArcGIS Desktop 10.7, incorporating and evaluating climatic and soil variables. The obtained results showed that there are 5,480,543 ha suitable for cultivating natural rubber in Colombia. However, these areas present favorable climatic conditions for the development of the SALB. Core Ideas: Spatial modeling is important for defining areas suitable for the cultivation of rubber.Biophysical aptitude is the base for rubber establishment in ColombiaEscapes zones to South American leaf blight must be considered for rubber cultivation.
