This study assessed the quality of agricultural land in the area of Lenauheim, Timis County, Romania. Analog maps (1:10,000 scale) processed by GIS techniques (vectorization, digitization) were used. In relation to the 6 indicators taken into account, the studied area was characterized: Indicator 4C - Classes of average annual precipitation corrected in relation to the slope and permeability, 2 classes were found (0575 and 0650); Indicator 14 - Degrees of soil gleic status, 5 classes were found with high value for class 2 - low soil gleic level, 37.52%; Indicator 23A - Soil textural classes, 5 textural classes were found, between sand - clay and clay, with a high share of the medium clay class (42 - clay sand-clay, 92.01%); Indicator 39 - Depth classes of the groundwater level, 5 classes of groundwater were found (class 2 - shallow depth 2.01-3.00 m, 49.54%;); Indicator 44 - Classes of the degree of soil compaction, 4 classes of compaction level were found (class +5 - low compacted (1-10%), 75.51%); Indicator 144 - humus reserve class (in layer 0-50 cm), 6 classes were found (class 225 - very high humus reserve 201-250 t/ha, 81.60%).
