| Summary: | The epipedons of soils for sugarcane cultivation from Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico, were analyzed, ordered and classified using multivariate statistical procedures. Soils were also classified according to FAO nomenclature. Two groups of soils and their diagnostic properties were found. Wtih lineal regressions we selected the diagnostic soif properties that are easy to analyze, as: pH, clay percent, real density, and water rain (in mm). The drawing to soil maps at large scale with these soil properties would be an easy, less expensive and useful way to identify the areas susceptible for the application of waste on soil, also for amendments for sugarcane crops, for example, phosphate fixation, Ai toxicity, water retention, redox conditions, among others ones. The mayor soil groups are: acrisol, lixisol, fluvisol and cambisol. Acrisol and lixisol are reported for the first time for this geographical region. |
