The results of studies on land suitability for cultivation of essential oil crops in terms of the forest-steppe altitudinal belt of the Greater Caucasus are presented by the example of Anapa district of the Krasnodar Territory. For the purpose of type design of land massifs the cumulative assessment of land by soils, topography, degree of erosion, and cultural condition is necessary for cultivation of ether tracts in accordance with the requirements to growing conditions. The conducted studies determined the areas of land plots for growing the perennial essential-oil-bearing plant and placing essential oil crop rotations on the land plot selected for analysis.
