Mapping of some micro element levels with geostatistical modeling in uzunköprü district of edirne province

Micro nutrients, which are as important as the macro nutrients for plant development, are not sufficient in soil and consequently have a negative effect on yield and product quality characteristics. Iron, copper, manganese and zinc are called micro nutrients which are relatively lower than the levels of macro nutrients. In the studies conducted in the deficiency of these nutrients in the plant has been reported to have various symptoms. In this study, some micronutrient element levels of Uzunköprü district of Edirne province were revealed. In this study, a sufficient number of soil samples were sampled at the level to represent the study area; results are mapped to the all study area with the help of geostatistical modeling. In the soil, copper was at a sufficient level, while iron was found to be medium and high and manganese at low and high levels. Zinc is similar to the Turkey's soil; a significant portion of the study area is below the critical level. © 2019 Namik Kemal University - Agricultural Faculty. All rights reserved
