Four soil samples from depth of 0-20cm and from different locations in the area - land under cereals, sunflower, vineyard, and natural meadows, were collected. The sampls were analyzed for humus content, soil structure, sorption capacity, pH in water and in KCl, and exchangeable acidity. On the basis of the conducted analyses, the soil types were classified as koluvium soils suitable for growimg various vineyard cultivars and plums, cherries, sour cherries, walnuts, apricots, and peaches from the fruit cultivars. These soil types are also suitable for growing small-leaf tobacco, and raspberries in the high-altitude regions. In case when the ground waters are closer to the surface, the soils are suitable for growing forage crops or can be used as meadows.
