PEDOLOGICAL AND AGROCHEMICAL STUDY IN THE AXINTELE AREA, IALOMIȚA COUNTY, COVERING AN AREA OF 300 HECTARES, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FERTILIZATION PLAN FOR CROPS

Abstract

The study was conducted based on research contract no. 378/02.04.2025, concluded between USAMV in Bucharest and SC LUXCOM SRL, regarding the pedological and agrochemical mapping in the Axintele area, Ialomița County, in the floodplain of the river of the same name. The pedoclimatic conditions are specific to the plain area, but with a microclimate specific to the floodplain on alluvial deposits and a groundwater level situated between 3-5 meters deep. Two surveys have been conducted in two fields used for arable land as well as on pasture. Soil samples were conditioned in the laboratories of USAMV in Bucharest, and the chemical analyses were conducted by the company S.C. Cartare Agrochimică S.R.L.
For all collected samples, a list of routine analyses (pH, humus, P, K, Ah, SB, carbonates, etc.) was prepared, while others were determined indirectly (IN, V%). The morphological characterization was partially determined in the field, and finalized in the laboratory based on the determined analyses. Based on the results obtained, the fertilization plan for crops was replaced, depending on the planned yield, the nutrient reserves in the soil, the preceding crop, etc.
