The paper present results from the research of the influence of the parent material on the soil texture and water retention curves of Rendzic Leptosols. Chromic Luvisol on hard limestones and Ferric Luvisol on hard limestones -Terra Rossa. The contents of the fine soil separates in the Rendzic Leptosols vary depending on the subtype. The physical sand fraction (coarse sand + fine sand) in the Amo horizon amounts 44.81% at the Rendzic Leptosols, haplic 40.13% at the Rendzic Leptosols-organogenic
