Popis: Litchi (Litchi chinensis) plantations in new areas without any land suitability assessment putting small farmers at risk of economic loss. The unique capability of the Geographical information system (GIS) for integration, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data has been leveraged for the identification, and mapping of potential litchi cultivation zones in India to help farmers and policymakers make informed decisions. Five climate-derived parameters including the number of days per year having a minimum temperature
