In course of the research there were studied diagnostic features of field identification of agro-soddy residually gleyed (drainic soddy boggy) soils and drained peat human-transformed (degrapeat) soils, which were similar on morphology. The research was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. The main features of field morphological diagnosis agro-soddy residually gleyed soils and drained peat human-transformed soils were structure and composition of the upper type-diagnostic horizons, as well as a form of transition their borders to the underlying horizons. Agro-humus horizons of agro-soddy residually gleyed were friable or weakly compacted addition, fine lumpy enough solid or granular-lumpy structure, almost flat shape of the transition boundaries in the underlying horizon. Agro-peat-mineral horizons of degrapeat soils were characterized by free-flowing, structureless and cragged form of transition in the residually gleyed mineral horizon. It was for these morphological characteristics the upper type-diagnostic horizons of these soils were identified in the field when working on large-scale soil mapping of agricultural land of the Republic of Belarus.
