ABSTRACT From the geomorphological point of view Lenauhein commune territory is situated in the great unit of relief of  Banato - Crişana plain, specially in Nordic Banat plain on Galaţca – Beregsău interfluve.  Characteristic for the forest steppe area, natural vegetation in commune territory has been replaced, in a large measuring tool, by agricultural crops Morphological characterization of the major physical and chemical soil types accurately depict current status for the supply of their products with the most important nutrients: humus, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. So by analyzes carried out it has been found that the best physico-chemical properties soil is Chernozemic soil.  INTRODUCTION Detailed knowledge of productive and technological characteristics of each portion of territory, both in terms of capacity and current characteristics and possibilities in terms of real change for the better of them, ensures for every farmer a tool in the application of techniques or making economic decisions and social leading to full and efficient use of land resources.  MATERIAL AND METHOD Samples were processed, being carried out following analyzes, and used these methods: Determining physical accomplishments: Soil texture was determined by the method Cernikova (the basic principle of the dripping method is the sedimentation with different speed of the particles in a liquid, depending on their size, according to Stokes's law). Determining chemical accomplishments: Determination of soil humus was performed by tritimetric method respectively Tiurin method. The principle of the method consists in the oxidation soda hummus with a solution of anhydride chrome passivation or potassium bichromate, in the presence of sulfuric acid. Determination of soil reaction (pH) was performed by the method of potentiometric pH-sensitive glass electrode, at a ratio soil: water 1:2.5; Degree of base saturation (V) - defines the rate at which colloidal complex is saturated with basic cations. Low values of V% reflects a strong leaching, horizons debasification and reaction of an acid and properties of less favorable soil for plant growth and development of the culture.  RESULTS AND DISSCUSIONS Soils of the commune Lenauheim have formed and have evolved under mutual interaction complex and continuous, of the pedogenetic factors. Nature and the current Analele Universităţii din Craiova, seria Agricultură – Montanologie – Cadastru (Annals of the University of Craiova - Agriculture, Montanology, Cadastre Series) Vol. XLII 2012/2  255  action role of each factor in the formation pedogenetic soils , varies both in space and in time, as well as in fact linking all pedogenetic factors.

Cambic chernozem have a good fertility and are cultivated with cereals, technical plants, vegetables, and trees. Application complete irrigation during dry periods water scarcity, management of organic fertilizers and minerals contribute to higher yields.  CONCLUSIONS In the investigated area the dominant soil types  is chernozem, occupying 82.5% of the agricultural area; Physical and chemical morphologic characterization soil types faithfully reflect the current state of their supply of the most important nutrients: humus, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. So in analyses found that soils with the best physicochemical properties is batigleic typical chernozem. In view of the full value of the soil cover will take into consideration actions to correct the pH (soil acidity) and corresponding land fertilization based on agrochemicals mapping permitted and ameliorative measures and cultural agro-pedo-current aimed at achieving balanced soil aerohidric. regime with optimal functioning. In conclusion, it might be asserted that depending on the climatic conditions existing cultivation there is the possibility and the development of most agricultural plants to be grown in the area.
