With the development of remote sensing techniques, the understanding of soil spectral response with the purpose to assist soil mapping and estimate soil attributes, become necessary. For this, the objective of this work was to analyze the spectral response of eight soil profiles from Mogi-Guaçú (SP) region obtained in laboratory and correlate them with soil texture and their chemical and mineralogical characteristics. The soils were sampled in each horizon and radiometric data was obtained by a spectroradiometer in laboratory. It was possible to discriminate the spectral response of each soil and relate them with texture, organic matter and iron oxides content. The analysis of reflected electromagnetic energy permitted to evaluate the soils mineralogical compounds like iron oxides, kaolinite, gibbsite and 2:1 clay minerals. These results indicate that this technique can be used as an auxiliary method in soil studies and mapping.
