Abstract

According, salts in the studied soil profiles so, to conclude correlation between soil parameters and EC, where, salts affected on EC. The results revealed high significant relationship between EC and Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, Cl- and SO42-. Moreover, data initiate relation between EC and ESP and CaCO3and relationship between EC and CEC whereas, show simple correlation. According, to results, regression relation between EC and available Fe and Zn shows simple correlation.
