description The bulb onion crop, besides being one of the main vegetable crops worldwide for Boyacá, is considered one of the pillars of the regional agricultural economy. Despite being so important from the economic aspect, at the agricultural level this crop has several problems among which stand out the nutritional requirements of the crop and poor practices in terms of soil management and conservation. That is why it is important to understand the physicochemical variability of the soil associated with the crop and how these can be related to intrinsic processes at a local geographic scale. To determine the variability of soil physicochemical conditions in the bulb onion crop, a total of 15 zones of 50m x 50m within the Usochicamocha irrigation district were analyzed. Soil samples were collected and subsequently analyzed in the laboratory. Information was obtained on parameters such as pH, OM%, ED, bulk density, soil texture, Ca, Mg, K, Na and P. The soil data obtained allowed us to observe the grouping patterns of study zones which have no geographical incidence, suggesting that intrinsic characteristics of the crops such as agricultural practices would play a more important role in the physicochemical variability than extrinsic factors such as the ecogeographic range of the zone. Our results support efforts to continue exploring the variability of soil physicochemical conditions within a crop and how these may relate to local soil management and conservation practices after each harvest season.

El cultivo de cebolla de bulbo aparte de ser uno de los principales cultivos de hortalizas a nivel mundial para Boyacá es considerado uno de los pilares en la economía agrícola regional. Pese a ser tan importante desde el aspecto económico, a nivel agrícola este cultivo posee varios problemas entre los cuales resalta las exigencias nutricionales que tiene el cultivo y las malas prácticas en cuanto al manejo y conservación de los suelos. Es por eso que se hace importante entender cuales son las variabilidades fisicoquímicas del suelo asociado al cultivo y estas como pueden estar relacionadas a procesos intrínsecos a escala geográfica local. Para determinar la variabilidad de las condiciones fisicoquímicas del suelo en el cultivo de cebolla de bulbo, se analizaron un total de 15 zonas de 50m x 50m dentro distrito de riego Usochicamocha. Las muestras de suelo fueron colectadas y posteriormente analizadas en laboratorio. Se obtuvo información de parámetros como lo son pH, OM%, ED, densidad aparente, textura del suelo, Ca, Mg, K, Na y P. Los datos del suelo obtenidos permitieron observar los patrones de agrupamiento de zonas de estudio las cuales no tienen incidencia geográfica, dando entrever, que características intrínsecas de los cultivos como lo son las prácticas agrícolas tendrían un papel más importante en la variabilidad fisicoquímica que factores extrínsecos como lo es el rango ecogeográfico de la zona. Nuestros resultados apoyan los esfuerzos para continuar explorando la variabilidad de las condiciones fisicoquímicas del suelo dentro de un cultivo y sobre como estas pueden relacionarse con las practicas locales del manejo y conservación del suelo luego de cada época de cosecha.
