The work provides information and elements related to the classification and evaluation of soil resources, thus integrating into the field of complex studies of natural resource identification, from the perspective of the land's vocation for the most suitable utility and the establishment of protection and conservation measures for the lands in the area. The objectives of the work are represented by the collection, processing and accumulation of scientific data related to environmental factors, the geographical characteristics of the area, soil resources, data related to the nature and intensity of the limiting factors, the qualitative evaluation of the lands. The object of the study activities is the land with an area of 205991 ha, of which 174576 ha (84.75%) are agricultural land (144153 ha, respectively 69.68% being arable land) and 10941 ha (5.31%) lands with forest vegetation, located south of Mureș, west of the Lipova plateau, north of the Bega-Timiș subsiding area and west of the Giucoșin-Aranca subsiding area in the Piedmont Plain of the Vinga subhill glacis, a component of the Mureș Plain. From an administrative point of view, these lands belong to a number of 22 territorial administrative units (UAT), of which 13 in Timiș county and 9 in Arad county.Soil properties can exert a decisive influence on the development of the root system, mineral nutrition, providing air, weather and climate for the main physiological processes from plants, acting on fertility (quality) status of soil. Systematic mapping and agrochemical studies of soil provide valuable data on the state of soil quality, establish and implement differentiated culture technologies and determining the suitability of land for various crops, substantiation of land improvement works and improvement technology, organization and systematization of land.
