LIMITATION FACTORS OF THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN CACICA VILLAGE, SUCEAVA

Abstract

The Cacica village area has according to the mayor office documents a total surface of 6755 ha, from which 3067 ha are agricultural areas. The mapped surface has 224.74 ha and represents the entire agricultural surface taking on account the terrain of the neighboring places and the non productive terrain surfaces. Among the limitative factors of the agricultural production the most important are: the with 1389.77 ha affected land (61.97% of the mapped surface), the strongly acid and acid reaction (80.60% of the mapped surface), the water erosion with 831.11 ha affected land (37.06% of the mapped surface), the landslides with 589.72 ha affected land (26.29% of the mapped surface) and the depth erosion (160.83 ha – 7.17% of the mapped surface). For the eroded fields we recommend the avoiding of pasturage in the humid times, the over seeding with perennial herbs mixtures in which the vegetables predominate, the establishing of a small number of cattle admitted for pasturage/ ha. In the case of the fields affected by strong and very strong erosion there are recommended protection crops.
