Abstract
The study focuses on Solhan's agricultural lands, situated within the boundaries of Bingöl Province. Bingöl is located in the Eastern Anatolia Region, spanning latitudes 41°20' to 39°54' north and longitudes 38°27' to 40°27' east. The province covers a total area of 8,253 km², with the central district occupying 1,790 km². Bingöl shares borders with Diyarbakır to the south, Muş to the east, Tunceli and Elazığ to the west, and Erzincan and Erzurum to the north. Solhan, a district of Bingöl, is adjacent to Muş on its eastern side. The precipitation pattern in Bingöl reflects a continental climate, but the region's overall climatic conditions exhibit a unique blend of Mediterranean and continental influences. This study aimed to assess the productivity levels of agricultural lands in Solhan. For this purpose, 130 soil samples were collected from the top 0-30 cm layer across 13 villages in the Solhan district where farming activities are prevalent. These samples were analyzed for various parameters, including texture, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), calcium carbonate (%CaCO₃) content, and essential plant nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu). The analysis revealed that the soils were non-saline, low in lime content, and deficient in organic matter, with a near-neutral pH. Potassium levels were found to be high, while phosphorus levels were moderate in 60% of the samples. Zinc levels were sufficient in 65% of the samples, manganese levels were adequate, and there was no iron deficiency. Copper levels were also determined to be sufficient. The soil texture of the agricultural lands was predominantly clay-loam and loam.
