Abstract
The objective of this work is to show for the first time the diagnostic data of ferric soils in the province of Mayabeque and criteria on their formation and distribution. For this purpose, the characterization of soils located in two regions, San Nicolás de Bari and Nueva Paz, was carried out. However, in the soil map scale 1:25 000, according to the cartographic sheet, these soils are classified as Ferrallitic. In the first region, a soil profile was studied in the "Roma" farm and, in the second region, the characteristics of the cumulative humic horizons of the soils in two farms were studied. The morphological characteristics of the soils and the analytical results show that these soils are not classified as Ferrallitic, although they are deep and red in color, but Ferrallitic, since they have a content of exchangeable bases greater than 20 cmol+ kg-1. In addition, these soils are characterized by the presence of an argillic horizon. Although these soils have been classified as Ferrallitic on the map, they are not Ferrallitic, but rather Ferrallitic, which has a more favorable productive value for agricultural production.
