Nutrient status of Kırıkhan-Kumlu soils and their relationship with several soil properties

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine severalsoil properties and the fertility status of the soils in the Kırıkhan-Kumlu region of Hatay province. For this purpose, a total of 60 soil samples were taken from two depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) to represent the soils.According to the results of the research; In terms of lime, more than 83.33% of the soils were found to be moderately calcareous to very calcareous and 78.33% of the soils had low to moderate organic matter content;% total nitrogen (N) content of the soils 0.03-1.15 and available phosphorus (P) 0.17-0.38 mg kg-1; exchangeable potassium (K) 47.00-452.00 mg kg-1; exchangeable calcium (Ca) 2534-6282 mg kg-1; exchangeable magnesium (Mg) 737-2429 mg kg-1; available copper (Cu) 0.89-4.68 mg kg-1; iron (Fe) 4.04-13.09 mg kg-1; manganese (Mn) 3.10-21.41 mg kg-1 and zinc (Zn) 0.27-1.08 mg kg-1. In the research area, 5.00% of the soils contain very low and 33% very high total N. Very low levels of phosphorus were determined in all of the soils in the study area in terms of phosphorus content. In terms of exchangeable potassium content, 3.33% of the soils were very low, 30.00% were low, 16.67% were medium, 30.00% were high and 20.00% were very high. It was determined that most of the soils were insufficient in respect to available zinc. However, the soils were sufficient in respect to available Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Cu. In addition, negative significant relationships were found between the sand contents of the soils and the available P, Ca and Mg contents.
