Abstract

Soil properties of
the samples from orchards and the nutrients (macro- and microelements) in the
clementine mandarin (Citrus reticulata
Blanco), widely grown in the Köyceğiz region of Muğla Province Turkey, were
studied. Mandarin tree leaves and soil samples were collected from 10 different
orchards. The soil samples were analyzed for its pH, CaCO₃, EC,
sand, organic matter, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium
(Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and
boron (B) while leaves were analyzed for its macro- and microelements. The
results obtained from soil analysis showed suitable amount of calcium carbonate
and EC. Analysis of the soil showed that organic matter, N, K and Mn were
insufficient in all orchards, while Fe was higher in amount. Slight alkaline,
strong alkaline and neutral pHs were determined in the orchards. Besides, the
leaf samples collected from the orchards reflected deficient amount of N and Ca
while higher amount of Mg and Fe.
