PEDOLOGICAL AND AGROCHEMICAL STUDY ON THE AREA IN PERISORU AREA, CALARASI COUNTY

The pedological mapping was carried out in order to identify the soil type and assess its fertility based on physicochemical characteristics. At the same time, agrochemical samples were collected from the arable horizon (0-20 cm) in order to determine the nutrient content. The main physical characteristics were determined, based on the collection of soil samples in natural settlement (metal cylinders). Based on the nutrient content, the crop fertilization plan was developed for each species and the expected production. Based on the results obtained, the humus content of the soil shows low values (less than 4%) unsuitable for a typical chernozem formed in the Baraganului area. A bonitation study was conducted for arable use, the soil being classified at the lower limit of Class II with 66 bonitation points, due to the less favorable climatic conditions and the phreatic level located below 10 m depth.
