Abstract

This research was carried out to determine the fertility levels of agricultural soils in Eceabat district. For this purpose, 116 soil samples were taken from the research area and their physical and chemical properties were determined. According to the results of the research, the soils have different content of lime, slight alkaline, without any salinity problem, low in organic matter and high in potassium. The studied soils are deficient in phosphorus (50.86 % of the samples), zinc (83.62 % of the samples), manganase (58.62 % of the samples), but sufficient in calcium (90.52% of the samples), magnesium (all soils), copper (99.14% of the samples) and iron (all samples) content.
