Abstract

As the soils
without limiting condition for plant growth is about 10% of the country’s all
arable lands, cultivation generally undertaken at soils with shallow, stony,
sloping and deficient nutrient contents which is also valid for Adıyaman
region. The pomegranate orchard establishment manifested a very rapid growth
recently due various reasons alike subsidies however soil properties in the
region is not well known. Soil and plant sampling were taken from 40 points for
determination of plant nutrient and soil relations of pomegranate grown in
soils with limiting properties in this study. Orchards were generally set 5 to
6 years ago with Hicaz variety. Soil samples were collected from 0-30 and
30-60cm depth, plant leaves were sampled during 20 August – 20 September period
of the year 2015. Pomegranate soils have shallow-moderate depth (30-60cm) with
alkaline pH, calcareous and clayey texture. While all orchards soils have high
phosphorous and potassium content, the iron, zinc and organic matter were
determined as insufficient. In case of leaf analysis nitrogen, phosphorous,
potassium, magnesium, iron, copper and manganese were determined as sufficient
while zinc was deficient. For example, excess bottom fertilizing particularly
resulted phosphorous accumulation and it is determined that lack of decent
knowledge on soil plant nutrient in the region induced zinc and iron
deficiency. Soil organic matter was a disregarded property by farmers and its
importance is not well-known by them. Finally, along with limiting soil
conditions the inadequate nursing knowledge determined as constraining factor
of Adıyaman pomegranate production.
