Abstract

In the area of ​​the Kovin Forest Administration, physical and chemical characteristics of soil were tested in the "Žarkovac" nursery. This nursery is used to produce planting and reproductive material of poplar, so the surface layer of soil in the rhizosphere zone was examined. The samples studied contain the highest proportion of fine sand (70.83-77.32%) in the total granulometric composition. The texture class in all the samples studied is loamy sand. The reaction of this soil is poorly alkaline to medium alkaline, and the humus content ranged from 0.77 to 1.91%, indicating that these are poor humus soils, poor to medium provided with nutrients. On the entire surface examined the soil is of uniform physical and chemical properties with slight variation. A noticeable difference is only in the supply of tested areas in the content of readily available phosphorus and potassium. The soil survey of this nursery aims to improve the quality of the reproductive and planting material of the poplar.
