MARILES-FLORES, Verónica et al. Classes maguey mezcal producing land in La Soledad Salinas, Oaxaca. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.5, pp.1199-1210. ISSN 2007-0934.

The mezcal production is an important part in the state of Oaxaca economic and social activity. In order to meet soil types where the mezcal maguey is grown an ethnoedaphological study was conducted in 2014 in La Soledad Salinas, San Pedro Quiatoni, Oaxaca. The land classes identified and characterized by producers were compared to the scientific classification of soils using the WRB systems and soil taxonomy. With local peasant classification or six classes of land they were identified while the WRB three units with five qualifiers I and the two orders soil taxonomy and five subgroups were established. It is concluded that for detailed studies in order to generate recommendations peasant farm level soil classification generates more accurate results with less time and cost than those made with technical procedures.
