The study is located in the South of the country, in the of Pitesti Plain, a subunit of Teleorman Plain, in turn a subdivision of the Romanian Plain.In terms of geological composition of the territory studied are prevalent proluvial deposits (upper Pleistocene),followed by gravels, sands and sandy clays (upper and lower Pleistocene). Under the influence of pedogenetic factors and processes within the Pitesti Plain was formed by a wide range of soils, belonging to the classes: protisols, cambisols, luvisols, vertisols and hidrisols. Within the territory of Pitesti Plain land suitability is partially limited by certain factors such as compaction, stagnogleyzation, gleyzation, erosion and danger inundability. Knowing all parameters (morphological, physical and chemical) soils, modern approach to agricultural technologies and empowering all stakeholders have the effect of both correct and sustainable exploitation of the natural resources and preserve and improve the quality of the main means of production feed people.
