Abstract
Soil analysis is a valuable tool for farm as it determines the inputs required for efficient and economic production. A proper soil test will help ensure the application of enough fertilizer to meet the requirements of the crop while taking advantage of the nutrients already present in the soil. The aims of soil analysis are: To determine the level of availability of nutrients or the need for its introduction. To predict the increase in yields and profitability of fertilization (poor soils do not always provide yield increase due to fertilization because of possible limiting factors) and to save money and conserve energy by applying only the amount of fertilizer needed. In the present study it was preferred to investigate the soil samples for its physico-chemical analysis of some parameters. Nine representative samples were collected and analyzed for its pH, EC, organic carbon, phosphorous, manganese, K2O, zinc, copper, calcium bicarbonate.
