Abstract :Erosion is among the leading factors threatening our sources of soil and water. The use of soil susceptibility indices to determine erosion and risk situations is vital, especially in erosion studies. The susceptibility of soil to erosion is the resistance of soil against decomposition due to some external forces. Carried out around Tokat-Tekneli village, the research aims to determine the erodibility factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K); of the soil by its physical and chemical qualities in different slope segments of a field which is applied wheat-fallowing planting watch and has a convex slope in the study area. With this aim, three-times repeated deteriorated surface soil samples of 0-20 cm depth were taken from the peak, shoulder, ridge, face, and inch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(finger); regions of the slope area, and they were analysed in the laboratory. With the formulation of the K factor, the soil erodibility value of each soil sample was calculated. The erodibility value of the region is between 0.07 and 0.12 t ha-1 Mj mm-1, and it was determined that soils are classified in the soil class, which is sensitive to moderate erosion.
