Abstract :This investigation was carried to find out mount of zinc adsorbed by the soils of Great Konya Basin, and also to elucidate the relationships between percentage of adsorbed zinc and some properties of the soils. In this research, it was found that the average adsorbed zinc percentages ranged between the values of 95.1-97.0 and 96.3-97.1 for 0- 30 cm and 30-60 cm soil depths respectively. Variance analysis of zinc added to the soil and soil depth on adsorbed zinc percentages were not significant. The correlation cofficients between percentages of averaged zinc adsorbed and sand, silt, clay and CaCO, content of the soils were found statistically significant. These values (r) are 0.67*, 0.55*, 0.58* and 0.55* respectively.Keywords : KİREÇ, TOPRAK, ÇİNKO
