Pulse Suitability Mapping

Project Collaborators

Sophia Linn and Joshua Reyling, CSU Geospatial Centroid

We are surveying growers to develop a pulse suitability map. The map will illustrate which pulses have grown well in various regions across the state. Our goal is to provide recommendations to growers regarding which pulses may grow successfully in their location.

By using Geographic Information Systems, we will identify environmental factors like climate and soil types related to grower success and then model which other locations with similar environments have a greater potential to successfully grow those crops.
