Soils:
11.2 is found in the departments of Río Negro and Soriano and, to a lesser extent, Colonia. The geological material consists of silty sediments that cover the Fray Bentos Formation in thin layers, originating from it and inheriting its lithological characteristics. The terrain is rolling (3 to 6% slope) to strongly rolling (5-8%). The latter occurs near the Uruguay River, where in some cases steep banks with markedly greater slopes can be seen. The predominant soils are deep and moderately deep Typical Eutric Brunosols, very dark brown to black, with clay loam to silty clay loam texture, high to very high fertility, and moderately good drainage (deep and moderately deep black prairies). On more convex slopes, shallow Typical Eutric Brunosols (Regosols) are associated. In the hollows, Solonetz occur in rings along the slope transition from convex to concave on the lower slopes, and Melanic Eutric Planosols occur in the central hollow, usually with a gully. The predominant use is winter-summer crops and stubble. The natural grassland is dominated by winter species and is prone to invasion by espartillo grass and parkland vegetation, especially espinillos. This group corresponds to the Fray Bentos unit on the 1:1,000,000-scale map (D.S.F.). Productivity Index: 166.
