Abstract

Evaluation of the risk agroambiental of the soils of the indigenous communities of the state Anzoategui, Venezuela.

In order to know the risk agroambiental in indigenous communities of Anzoategui State, Venezuela, five land units and ten as opposed land uses were evaluated, including Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), Cowpea (Vigna sinensis), Maize (Zea mays), Peanut (Arachis hypogaea), Muskmelon (Cucumis melo), Yam (Dioscorea alata), Pasture, Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and Yucca (Manihot esculenta). The evaluation was done with Raizal and Pantanal models a land evaluation decision support system (MicroLEIS), which allowed to determine the potential vulnerability, of present handling, and according to the erosion (water and eolic) and agrocontamination risks. It was concluded that evaluation agroambiental was moderately- high for all the study units.
