Abstract

The present study aimed to verify the existence of graduate programs dealing with the theme of Soil Science and related fields, as well as the profile of professors in these programs in the Amazon region of Brazil, in order to facilitate the future development of research in Soil Science. In this region 13 Graduate Programs were found, with 39 subjects offered adhering to the theme of Soil Science, taught by 36 professors, thereby indicating that there are qualified professors for the opening of a Graduate Program in Soil Science. To achieve this objective, policies of incentives and funding designed to strengthen research groups which focus on the development of regional Soil Science will contribute to the reduction of disparities, the generation of research of regional importance, the training of human resources of high quality, and the fixation of doctors in the region.
