  ABSTRACT: In Dominican Republic exists cultive larges fields of various agricultural rubles. The largest extensions are rice, banana and cocoa; these are located in the Cibao Valley. In the eastern, southwestern, and a small area in the north of the country, sugar cane is cultivated. Heavy metals are found in many of these soils that could be affecting the quality of agricultural products or production. The levels of Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Hg and Pb, determined by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, in soils collected in two cultivation areas of Rice de La Vega and San Francisco de Macoris (SFM) have been compared with the NOAA-USEPA Canadian Agricultural Soil and Sediment Guide (CEQGs) (SQuiRTs Table). The levels of Cr and Ni in La Vega exceeded the threshold effects levels (TEL), and the probable effects levels (PEL). Pb levels in the La Vega area were higher than in SFM. In general, these metals are found in the La Vega area in higher concentrations than in SFM, exceeding PEL and TEL.
