PEDOLOGICAL, PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DEFINITIONS OF THE RESPECTIVE SOIL STRATA WHICH COULD BE ENCOUNTERED ALONG A SLOPE WITHIN THE VINEYARD OF DEALUL OLT - DRĂGĂȘANI UPON WHICH THE VINE KIND OF TĂMÂIOASĂ ROMÂNEASCĂ HAS BEEN PLANTED

Abstract

Within the Drăgășani oenological realm could be encountered a multitude of soil types and this is the reason why these ought to be precisely identified and delimited so that should a new vine plantation be founded in there the most appropriate engraft-bearing vine kind could be eventually chosen.  Our scientific research investigation has thus identified its most appropriate experimental site upon a slope endowed with a slant degree of 10% and at the surface of which a plantation of the TămâioasăRomânească vine kind has been established. Three types of soil had been therefore identified along this above mentioned slope: Pseudo-rendsinian proto-soil of anthropic origin (within the slope’s upside third part); Argillaceous brown illuvial slightly pseudo-glazed (within the slope’s middle third part); Type-casted brown eumeso-basic (within the slope’s downside third part). The purpose of the present work is thus the one of outlining the respectively pedological, physical and chemical features of these above mentioned soil types.
