Abstract

Agriculture is fundamental for economic and social development, with Bolívar state in Venezuela being an important agricultural producer. This research focused on characterizing the agricultural soil in a greenhouse of AgroBolívar C.A. in Ciudad Bolívar, with the objective of understanding its physical and chemical properties and its productive potential. A composite sampling was carried out in Greenhouse #3. The methodology included analyses of bulk density, particle density, porosity, pH, and exchangeable acidity. The results revealed high bulk density (Plot 1: 1.890 g·cm-3; Plot 2: 1.813 g·cm-3; Plot 3: 1.885 g·cm-3), a particle density suggesting a high organic matter content, and low porosity (Plot 1: 17.42%; Plot 2: 23.28%; Plot 3: 14.47%). The pH varied from neutral (Plot 1) to moderately alkaline (Plots 2 and 3). Exchangeable acidity does not represent a limiting factor for the soils. It is concluded that the soil exhibits compaction with variability in pH, which should be considered to optimize management and crop selection.
