Abstract

In order to determine nutrition status of the
apple orchards in Doğanşehir city of Malatya Province, chemical and physical
properties of soil samples, and macro and micro nutrient contents of soil and
leaf samples collected from the selected orchards from different parts of the
city were examined in 2017. Soil samples were collected from two depths of 0-30
cm and 30-60 cm, 1 kg from each depth, in September. Leaf samples, 100 leaves
taken from head level of trees representing the related orchard, were collected
11 weeks after full blossom. Results indicated that soil texture, pH and
salinity level was appropriate for apple growing, but loam content was
generally high and organic matter was poor. Macro and micro nutrients were
found adequate in soil samples of most of the orchards, except Mn and Zn.
Sampling depth did not affected soil properties in most of the orchards. Almost
all of the leaf samples contained adequate amount of  N, P, Fe, and Cu, whereas inadequate level of
K, Ca, and Zn. N content varied between 0.068%
and 0.106% in soil samples, and between 1.78% and 2.68% in leaf samples.
