B. da aZoneamento edafoclimatico da regiao da Chapada Diamantina no estado da Bahia para o cultivo de citros. c1998 an.p. aRainfall and air temperature average data of 33 locations for the period from 1950 to 1994 were use to evaluante the soil and climate potential of the "Chapada Diamantina" region in the Bahia State, Brazil for cytrus cropping. For the locations without observed data, the air temperature was estimated as a function of the local geographic coordenates. Based upon the results of the hydric balance according to Thornthwaite & Mather (1955) and in the climatic indexes of Thornthwaite, the region was divided into the following aptitude zones for cytrus cropping: Full Aptitude, covering around 15% of the region, representing the wetter areas (eastern sector of the "Chapada Diamantina"; Moderate Aptitude, covering 42% and distributed throughout the region; Marginal Aptitude, covering 3% the region (Piata location). In this zone the sustentable prodution of cytrus is advised to be done in those areas of deep and organic matter rich soils: and Inaptitude, covering 39% of the region in the Diamantina mountaim). It was concluded that, in general, the "Chapada Diamantina" region in Bahia State presents good soil and climate conditions for cytrus cropping, except at Piata location an in the areas under the lee of the Diamantina mountain where cytrus cropping needs an additional soil water supply by irrigation. aBrazil aCitrus aCerrado aFruta Cítrica aSolo aZoneamento Climático aAgroclimatic zones aBahia aChapada Diamantina aSoil zonation1 aAZEVEDO, P.
