Abstract
The present research was carried out in cocoa production areas
belonging to an #Inceptisol from El Carmen canton, which is located in
Ecuador, specifically in Manabí province. It was developed from November
through December 2016 at 300m above the sea level, at a latitude
of 0º 16’11’’S, a longitude of 79º 43’ 33’’W and an average annual
precipitation of 2,700 mm. The study was aimed at evaluating chemical
and#physicalproperties of the representative profiles of an Inceptisol
devoted to the production of cocoa developed in different periods. In
this
exploratory research soil profiles were carried out in cocoa plantations
having 2, 6 and 10 years, from which three samples of each horizon of 1
kg were taken. Each sample was analyzed according to the following
features: pH in H2O and KCl, organic matter (%), assimilable #phosphorus
and potassium measured in mg 100g-1, #Ca+2, Mg+2, K+ and Na+ in cmol(+)
kg-1, T Value in cmol(+) kg-1, as well as bulk and weight density in g/
cm3.
