The objectives of the paper were: to characterize the natural framework, to identify, study and describe the types and subtypes of soils, to establish the expenses needed for wheat and maize crops and to estimate the production capacity of the agricultural land, compared to the yields obtained, as well as the economic efficiency of the studied farm. The studied material was represented by the land belonging to the Pojejena administrative-territorial unit, Caraș-Severin County, respectively the soils identified in the national perimeter. They were studied in relation to the environmental factors conditioning their existence. The paper presents the fertility of the agricultural land in the studied area, the necessary costs for wheat and corn cropping per hectare, in relation to these soils’ production capacity, reflected by the obtained productions and the farm’s economic efficiency. In the studied farm, the luvisol soil covers a surface of 24 ha. The widest surface is cultivated with corn, namely 19 ha, and the rest of 5 ha with wheat, whereas the eutricambosoil covers 18 ha, of which 12 ha are cultivated with wheat and 6 ha with corn. For the founding and maintaining of the two crops, corn and wheat, we have made up a cost chart, necessary for one hectare of each crop. The average for the corn crop over the two studied years, 2014 and 2015 respectively, was of 5150 kg/ha. With regards to the production average, without taking the soil type into account, it was of 3050 kg/ha. Although, from the two studied soil types eutricambosoils yielded higher productions, their fertility can still be increased by complex fertilizations and the introduction of adequate crop rotations.
