Abstract

GOMEZ, I. A et al. GROUPS OF SOIL AND ITS DISTRIBUTION IN THE AREAS OF TALENT CENTRAL MOTZORONGO, VERACRUZ, MEXICO. cultrop [online]. 2010, vol.31, n.2, pp. 00-00. ISSN 0258-5936.

This report is one of the results from some studies performed in the raw material supply area of Central Motzorongo mill, Veracruz, Mexico, which consisted of knowing soil characteristics, classification and distribution. Starting from a photo-interpretation work and drilling 1310 observation points, sugarcane-growing soils were mapped. Afterwards, the study was enlarged and the World Reference Base classification was applied to the entire area. Due to the complexity and interaction between formation factors, different formation processes have been shown in the studied area and soils of the humid tropical regions were found together with some younger ones. Then, 12 referential groups of soils were identified and characterized. Among these groups, Acrisols, Nitisols, Phaeozems and Luvisols are the most extended soils

Keywords : soil genesis; soil classification; databases; Veracruz.
