Determination of Some Physical and Chemical Properties of Soil Examples from Fruit and Vegetable Gardens with Different Fizyografy to Uzundere District

This study was carried out to determine some physical and chemical properties of soil samples taken from fruit and vegetable gardens with different fizyografy (base and slope) from uzundere district centers and its villages ulubağ, çağlayan, gölbaşı and kirazlı (four garden from each village). for this purpose, soil samples were collected and analyzed from uzundere center, where the fruits and vegetables were common grown, and the gardens determined in the villages of ulubağ, çağlayan, gölbaşı and kirazlı. the soil analysis results were compared with the limit values and the nutrition and fertility status of the soils was determined. according to the results, soil samples had rough textures. ph’s of the samples were neutral and slightly alkaline (ph 7.34- 7.90), ec values were 0.31-0.89 ds m^-1 and classified as a salt-free, lime contents were moderate (1.39-7.87%), organic matter contents were medium and sufficient (2.23%-7.10%), available phosphorus contents were medium and sufficient (7.37-35.54 kg p_2o_5 da^-1), exchangeable k contents ranges from 0.12 to 2.06 me 100g^-1, exchangeable ca^+mg contents ranges from 10.51 to 21.57 me 100g^-1 and exchangeable na 0.57-1.06 me 100g^-1. also, available fe, zn, mn and cu contents were between 0.71-2.73, 0.96-4.52, 4.60-16.40 and 1.14-4.14 mg kg^-1 respectively. in order to determine whether there is a difference between fruit and vegetable gardens soils in terms of dependent variables, independent samples t test (independent sample t test) was performed and according to the results there were significant differences between the groups in terms of om, eca^ + mg, cec, zn and mn (p <0.01). there was no difference in terms of other soil properties.
