In the Low Plaine from rivers Mureș - Timiș - Bârzava interfluve, during the 18th and 19th centuries has been existed about 14-15 rice - fields, for example at Banloc, Valcani, Sânnicolau Mare, Beregsău, Uivar, Otelec, Denta, Partoș, and other settlements. In the present time only the rice – field of Banloc functions, during of 124th years. The majority of rice - fields have been abandoned because of a wrong management, which has caused the water table to rise and the soils became gleyic - salic and/or sodic. We consider that the majority great areas with Gleysols and Solonetz, and also gleyic - salic - sodic soil types like Chernozems, Vertisols and Fluvisols which cover the Low Plaine, belongs to the abandoned rice - fields. There are present also, some aspects of the geological, geomorphological and the variation of the depth of ground water layer. Analytical data of the soil types dominantly for the rice - fields have been permited to establish the methods for improvement the former areas of rice - fields. The case study relates to the complex improvement measures for a plot of 53 ha which has been radically transformed really in a new soil type Anthrosols, much more productive.
