Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the conditions of potassium (K+) and the inorganic form of nitrogen (NH4+), and to map their current status using geographic information systems, in calcareous soils with different moisture content. Potassium in the soil is in exchangeable, soluble and non-changeable forms. Because the ions are fixed by the same mechanism, their release might be expected to be somewhat similar so, it has been suggested that NH4+ and K+ ions are fixed in soils. This study was carried out in the field of Horticulture Fruit Research Unit (AR-GE) in Osmanbey Campus at Harran University. Mean concentrations were evaluated which soils were extracted in dry and moisture conditions respectively. The average concentration was determined K+ 362 and NH4+ 98 ppm in dry soil while were K+ 258, NH4+ 50.26 ppm in moisture soil. Ammonium and potassium in soil were detected to be lower concentrations in moisture than dry conditions. Key words : Ammonium, potassium, CBS, moisture soil, jeostatistic. DOI : 10.7176/JSTR/5-7-03
