| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to present the qualitative assessment with a view to the sustainable development of the land presented (land that occupies the largest share) of the studied area. The methods used to carry out this work were: the characterization of the area studied in terms of natural conditions; the assessment of the productive capacity of the soil with a view to the most accurate sustainable use. The study material used for the elaboration of this paper is the land belonging to the Giarmata territorial administrative unit (6,119 ha) and the Pedological study of the Giarmata City Hall. As regards the agricultural land of the commune, it consists of the following uses: arable 4,859 ha (77.2%), pastures 834 ha (13.3%), meadows 121 ha (1.9%), and orchards 305 ha (4.8%). With regard to the classification of the area studied in quality classes (fertility), for the category of use “arable”, the situation is as follows: 1st – 128 ha (2.6%), 2nd class – 913 ha (18.8%), 3rd class – 2852 ha (58.7%), 4th class – 850 ha (17.5%), and 5th class – 116 ha (2.4%). For the proper development of the agricultural land under study, action will be taken as appropriate by carrying out the work of deep watering or subsoiling, the introduction of long-term crop rotation, the introduction of breeding crops, and the establishment of an adequate load of grazing livestock. |
