Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the physico-chemical properties and water-soluble nutrients content in 160 samples of upland and 120 samples of orchard in Jeonbuk province. The mean depths of horizon A of the upland and orchard soils were 24.2 ± 4.2 cm and 27.8 ± 5.9 cm, respectively. Soil pH, EC, and organic matter contents were within the optimal range for upland and orchard soils, but available phosphate and exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg were higher than the optimal range; e.g., available phosphate concentrations were higher than the optimal range by 52.8% for the upland and 61.7% for the orchard. Water-soluble Mg2+, Cl-, and SO42- were higher in upland than orchard soils, and K+, Ca2+, NO3-, and PO43- showed an opposite pattern. These results provide fundamental information of the properties of upland and orchard soils in Jeonbuk province for better management of soil fertility.

Correlation coefficient between water-soluble nutrients and soil chemical properties of uplands in Jeonbuk province.
