For needs of manufacture and decision practice soil categorisation was elaborated by soil suitability for winter wheat. The categorisation was based on pedological materials of the Bonited Pedo-ecological Units System (BPEJ) including necessary climatic data in the form, they are deposited in the Soil Information System of the Soil Science and Conservation Research Institute, Bratislava. Arable land of the highest quality - loamy soils including Chernozems, Orthic Luvisols, Mollic Fluvisols, some of Fluvisols plus the best series of remaining soil types, were incorporated into category I. - soil suitable for winter wheat. Deteriorating soil parameters, as: unfavourable textural composition, stoniness, sloping, erosion, water-logging, reduced humus content, unfavourable pH values, unproper physical properties, high altitude, days of vegetation period, temperatures, etc. were helpful for us, when specifying further categories of soils less suitable for winter wheat growing. Resulting materials will be equally for a good service for agricultural enterprises as basic economical unit as well as for management and advisory purposes, recommendation and planning in the level of district, region and whole Slovakia
