This article shows that pedogenesis factors of soils in the village Negrea, Hancesti district are typical for our area from point of view of relief, climate, solification rocks, peculiarities of soil cover and its use in agriculture. The main factor that ensured diversity of soil units in the area of Middle Prut is soil erosion. The object of study occupied the northeast and the middle of the agricultural land of the village New Negrea. Approximate distance from the village New Negrea to the main cities is as follows: Hancesti - 23 km, Chisinau - 60 km. One peculiarity of rocks solification is the texture with a high content of fine sand (15-30%). As content of this fraction is not characteristic for loess deposits actual (Cerbari et al., 2010; Cojocaru, 2015). The soils on the slopes are affected by denudation and evolve through pedogenesis compensation - denudation, in the sense that relatively long period going slow denudation; there is also a certain development of soil in the depth, pedogenesis thus compensating, at least partial denudation.
