Assessment of Some Physical and Chemical Properties of Soils Different Plant Growth in Hinis- Erzurum

28918

This study was undertaken for determining fertility potential of agricultural and grassland soils of Hinis plain, Erzurum. For this purpose total of 36 soil samples from 0-30 cm soil depth were collected from different land use areas (dry agricultural lands, irrigated lands and grasslands) in all over Hinis plain. Soil samples were analyzed for soil reaction (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), CaCO3 content, organic matter content, plant available phosphorus (P), cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable Na and K and soil texture. The fertility status and productivity potential of district soils were evaluated by comparing the test results and the limit values of the measured soil properties. The results indicated that the soils in the study plain has neutral (58.3%) or slightly alkaline (41.7%) reaction without salt problem and having moderate (75.0%) or high lime (25.0%) contents. About ¼ of the plain soils have low content of organic matter, 58.3% moderate and 16.7% high amounts of organic matter. The plant available P2O5 was low (100%) and K2O was high. Soil texture was either loamy (50.0%) or clay loam (42.0%), and a small portion was clay (8.0%) textured.
