Por consiguiente, el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la clase textural de los suelos con fines de producción intensiva y de futura expansión, siendo los municipios de mayor interés Portachuelo, Montero, Warnes, Saavedra, Mineros, Fernández Alonso, Colpa Bélgica y San Pedro. La clasificación de la textura del suelo se basó en los lineamientos del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) y la confección del mapa de textura se realizó mediante el modelo geoestadístico de Kriging ordinaria. En el área de estudio se recolectaron 459 muestras de suelo, mismas que permitieron la clasificación en nueve clases texturales, de las 12 establecidas por USDA, de las cuales, 3% perteneció a los tipo de suelos ligeros (arena, franco arenoso), 77% a suelos medios (franco arenoso, franco, franco limoso y limo) y 20% a suelos pesados (franco arcilloso arcillo, franco arcilloso, franco arcilloso limoso, arcillo arenoso, arcillo limoso y arcilloso), identificado según el soporte bibliográfico, los suelos de textura media son los más aptos para el cultivo de la caña de azúcar. En consecuencia, en el área geográfica estudiada predominan los suelos con dichas condiciones texturales (franco arenoso = 115, franco arenoso = 86 y franco limoso = 153) ocupando un área geográfica mayor que los municipios en cuestión.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Summary: The Integrated north region of Santa Cruz department, Bolivia is an important agro-industrial zone for the production and transformation of sugar cane into derivatives of alcohol, sugar and ethanol. The area for sugar cane cultivation is in full geographical expansion, thus, the objective of our study was to determine the texture classes of the soils planned for intensive production and future expansion. For this purposes, the counties of greatest interest are Portachuelo, Montero, Warnes, Saavedra, Mineros, Fernández Alonso, Colpa Bélgica and San Pedro. We used the soil texture classification proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The texture map was computed using the ordinary Kriging geostatistical model. In the study area, 459 soil samples were collected, which were classified into nine out of 12 textural classes established by USDA. Three percent of the textural classes were coarse textured soils (sand, sandy loam), 77% were medium soils (sandy loam, loam, silt loam and silt) and 20% were clayed soils (clay loam clay, clay loam, silty clay loam, sandy clay, silt clay and clay). According to literature, medium-textured soils are the most suitable for the cultivation of sugarcane, which was the predominant soil texture in our study area (sandy loam = 115, sandy loam = 86 and silt loam = 153).]]></p></abstract>
