DISTRIBUTION OF TWO ELEMENTS (P, K) WITH NUTRITION ROLE IN SOILS OF FĂLTICENI AND SÂRCA APPLE-GROWING AREAS (ROMANIA)
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The present paper analyses the distribution of two elements (K and P) with nutrition role in the soils of the apple orchards located in the NE of Romania. Three types of soil samples were collected; topsoil (0-20 cm) from the apple-tree rows, soil samples from the 20-40 cm depth interval and topsoil (0-20 cm) from the middle of the apple tree rows. Soil analyses were performed by means of EDXRF at the Geology department of “Al. I. Cuza” University from Iaşi. K and P concentrations were obtained from the K2O and P2O5 total content in soils. Using specialized software distribution maps were created. The distribution tendency of the two elements shows that there is a quantifiable accumulation closer both to surface and the apple tree rows. The soil supply with P and the linear correlations between the elements and pH and CaCO3 were also determined.
