Hatay İli Kırıkhan –Reyhanlı Bölgesi Çayır-Mera Topraklarının Besin Elementi Durumları ve Bazı Toprak Özellikleri ile İlişkileri

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.
