Abstract :This investigation was carried out to determine the fertility levels of Beyşehir district agriculture soils. For this purpose, the total 48 soil samples were taken in depths of 0-20 and 20-40 cm of central Beyşehir and its towns’ agri-cultural lands in April 2001 and the 24 plants such as wheat, barley, lentil, and apple and vine leaf specimens in fields where taken soil samples in June, 2001. In the soil samples, pH, EC, texture, lime, organic matter, N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn, in the plant specimens, N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn and B were analysed. Generally, the soils have loamy texture, slight alkaline pH, without salt, middle lime and low organic matter. N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn averages of the soils were 104.73, 24.48, 502.59, 15.62, 5.84, 2.74 and 2.62 ppm, respectively. On the other hand, N, P, K insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ppm); contents of the plants were determined as 1.45, 0.14, 1.93, 394.11, 24.48, 301.74, 41.24 and 20.99, respectively.
