description In this study, the agroclimatic suitability for dairy livestock systems was determined with an “Agroclimatic suitability index (ASI)”. The index was constructed from the territorial analysis of restrictive variables such as slope, frost exposure, Bos taurus temperature and humidity index. The soil water deficit frequency was calculated with water balances, days without rain and accumulated average precipitation. The agroclimatic index identified critical areas for dairy livestock systems in the main dry periods (December to February and June to August). The results showed that in the first dry quarter, there was a larger area with agroclimatic limitations as compared to the second dry quarter. About 192,369 ha, located mainly in the Alto Chicamocha, had the lowest IAC values, indicating a lower agroclimatic suitability. Sogamoso, Corrales, Tutaza, Belen, Santa Rosa de Viterbo, Floresta, Nobsa, Sotaquira, Cerinza, Pesca, Chiquiza, Tausa, Samaca, Cucaita, Sogamoso and Firavitoba were the municipalities with the lowest agroclimatic suitability index for the two dry periods. The areas with the lowest limitations (with higher IAC values) were observed in 12% of the studied area and corresponded mainly to the municipalities of Oicata and Cuitiva in the Alto Chicamocha and Cucunuba in the Valle de Ubate and Chiquinquira.

En este estudio se determinó la aptitud agroclimática para el sistema ganadero de leche mediante la formulación del “Índice de Aptitud Agroclimática (IAC)”. El índice se construyó a partir del análisis territorial de variables limitantes como la pendiente, la exposición a heladas, el índice de humedad y temperatura para Bos taurus, la frecuencia de ocurrencia de condiciones de déficit hídrico en el suelo calculado mediante balances hídricos, el número de días sin lluvia y la precipitación media acumulada. El índice agroclimático permitió identificar áreas críticas para el sistema de ganadería en los periodos secos de diciembre a febrero, como primer trimestre seco y de junio a agosto como segundo trimestre seco. Los resultados mostraron que en el primer trimestre seco hay una mayor área con limitaciones agroclimáticas en comparación con el segundo trimestre seco; cerca de 192.369 ha ubicadas en la región del Alto Chicamocha presentaron los valores más bajos del IAC, indicando una menor aptitud agroclimática: Sogamoso, Corrales, Tutazá, Belén, Santa Rosa de Viterbo, Floresta, Nobsa, Sotaquirá, Cerinza, Pesca, Chíquiza, Tausa, Samacá, Cucaita, Sogamoso y Firavitoba fueron los municipios con más baja aptitud agroclimática para los dos periodos secos, tanto en términos de las limitantes evaluadas como del IAC. Las áreas con menores limitaciones (con valores más altos del IAC) se observaron en el 12% del área estudiada y correspondieron principalmente a los municipios de Oicatá y Cuítiva en la región del Alto Chicamocha, y Cucunubá en el valle de Ubaté y Chiquinquirá.
