For this purpose, a total of 60 soil samples were taken from two different depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) and 30 different points to represent the study area soils. In the examples, pH, lime, organic matter and CEC contents of agricultural lands were determined. According to the research results, it was determined that the pH content of the soils in the study area varies between 7.57-8.36, and it has been found that the pH of the soil samples are slightly alkaline in the entire region. It was also determined that the lime content of Kırıkhan-Reyhanlı agricultural soils is 5.66-51.14%, varying between medium and very high. It was found that while 28.33% of the soils are moderately lime, 35.00% are too limy and 36.67% much too limy. As for the organic matter content, it was determined that the study area's organic matter content of agricultural soils is between 1.42-4.10%, varying between low and high organic matter. It was found that while 23.33% of the soil contains little organic matter, 48.34% has medium, 25.00% has a good amount and 3.33% has a high level of organic matter. It was also determined that the CEC content of Kırıkhan-Reyhanlı agricultural soils varies between 16.89-42.10 me / 100 gr. While there is a significant positive relationship between the pH content of the soils and the content of the CEC, it has been demonstrated that there is a negative relationship between the lime content and the CEC content.</p> ER -
