To sum up, Fizeș Plain is a territorial unit well highlighted in the Transylvanian Plain. This region is delimited from the other units which compound the Transylvanian Plain, especially through its physical and geographical features. For the purpose of this research, soil samples were taken for each main pedogenesis horizon. Also, physico-chemical analysis was performed according to the methodology that currently exists in romanian pedology and agrochemistry laboratories. Some of the analysis methods include Pipette method of interpreting the results after ICPA-Kacinski, Cylinder method (with known volume) and others, as seen in table 1. As a result, regarding the physical-geographical conditions, it has been established that this territory is located according to the soil studies in category III C of complexity. Furthermore, this sector can be considered a curved area of the structure in domes and brahianticlinales, where elevations exceed 400-550 m only on the interfluvial plateaus. Its relief is moderately fragmented, being defined by interfluves that are radially oriented towards South, South-West, as well as towards South-East, as given by the hydrographic network. In conclusion, the soil in the Fizeș Plain area is diversified both in space and tyopology due to the complex factors that have contributed to the solidification process.
