Análisis de la calidad de suelos en sistemas productivos agrícolas del municipio de Barranca de Upía-Meta

Abstract

The changes in the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil in agroecosystems of the municipality of Barranca de Upía-Meta is associated with inadequate agricultural practices, lack of technical assistance and ignorance of the state of soil quality. Therefore, the project consisted of evaluating the quality of the soil in terms of macro and micronutrients, as well as the factors that intervene in their availability. The soils presented characteristics from strongly acid to neutral, with a sandy clay loam texture, moderately low organic carbon <9%, and moderate retention and storage of cations such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Finally, a series of agro-sustainable strategies were formulated in order to promote more sustainable production systems in the study area.
