The paper presents a series of physical properties of soils (texture, soil density, apparent density, total and aeration porosity) from a vineyard-tree plantation located in the outskirts of the town of Lugoj. The municipality of Lugoj being the second city in terms of size and importance in Timiș county. The purpose of this work was oriented towards the determination and knowledge of the physical properties of two types of soils studied, namely, the Preluvosol and the Luvosol, soils that are occupied by fruit trees and vines. The proposed objectives aim at the following aspects: identification and delimitation of soil and land units; collecting soil samples, performing laboratory analyses; performing calculations and presenting the values obtained on the main physical properties of soils, aiming at their determination both for fruit trees and for vines. The density of the soil (g/cm3) recorded values between 2.42 g/cm3 and 2.49 g/cm3, depending on the depth, type of soil, month of irrigation and crop. The apparent density of the soil had values between 1.14 g/cm3 and 1.35 g/cm3. Total soil porosity (%) was between 41% for fruit trees and 47% for vines. The aeration porosity (%) had values between 10.90% and 13.70%. The obtained results highlight very well the data we wanted to present.
