The study was conducted to determine the content of micro and macro
nutritional elements and their fertility status by identifying their relevance
to some characteristics of soil. For this purpose, from 40 different points and
2 different depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) referring to total 80 soil samples were
taken in a way to represent grass and pasture soils. Analyzes of pH, total
salt, textures, lime, organic matter, CEC and Total N, available P, K, Ca, Cu,
Fe, Mn and Zn were done in the soils samples. As a result of the study, it was
determined that the percent nitrogen content of the soils was 0.0-1.34 ppm and
the available phosphorus was 0.35-8.41 ppm; changeable potassium was 35.00-1125.00
ppm; while calcium was determined to be between 292.50-1197.50 ppm, available
copper was 0.26-7.48 ppm, iron was 4.00-61.00 ppm, mangan was 5.00-217.00 ppm,
zinc was0.25-13.52 ppm. In summing up,
while phosphorus and available zinc were determined to be present in the
majority of the soil samples, the minor parts of the soils were determined lacking
available potassium and calcium. Copper, iron or mangan was available in all
soil samples. It was found that there was a negative relations of total
nitrogen content with salt contents, available phosphorus with pH and clay
contents, changeable potassium with sand contents, available copper and iron
with pH and sand contents, available mangan with pH values and calcium with
sand contents. It was determined that there are positive relations of total
nitrogen, changeable potassium and available iron with salt, silt, organic
matter and KDK values, available phosphosrus with salt, silt and organic matter
content, available copper and calcium with salt, clay, silt, lime, organic
matter and KDK values and available mangan with organic matter.
