Determination of fertility status of eggplant grown greenhouse soils in the Antalya-Aksu district

This study was carried out to determine some fertility properties of greenhouse soils in the Aksu district. For this aim, 36 soil samples were taken from Aksu. The analyses were made to determine pH, electrical conductivity (EC), lime (CaCO3), texture, organic matter, total N, available P, exchangeable K, Ca and Mg in soil samples. Results obtained showed that, soils of the greenhouses studied had a texture ranging from sandy loam to clay loam, slight alkaline and alkaline. Organic matter contents of soils were insufficient. Total N and exchangeable potassium concentrations ranged from poor to very high levels. Available P concentrations were sufficient, exchangeable Ca and Mg concentrations were high
