The studied territory is located in the east of Prahova County, at a distance of about 33 km from the municipality of Ploieşti, with an area of 4700 ha. The study was carried out with the aim of identifying the zonal soil types, their fertility and the description of the limiting or restrictive factors of the use of these lands for agricultural crops. Both main soil profiles and secondary profiles were carried out to reproduce the situation as faithfully as possible soils in the studied area. The identified soil types are represented by Fluvisols, Phaeozems, Gleysols and Technosols. Knowing the nature and intensity of the limiting factors of agricultural production is necessary to establish the ameliorative requirements of the soils, specifying the ameliorative measure and the surface (ha) on which it is applied to reduce or eliminate the negative effects, some measures being conditioned by the initial application of other measures
