Agrochemical characteristics of yellow earth-pseudopodzolic soils of the Lenkaran district of Azerbaijan

The work is devoted to the study of pseudopodzolic-clay-yellow earth soils. Citrus fruits grown on pseudopodzolic-clay-yellow earth soils are one of the most important crops in Azerbaijan. The main citrus plants grown in the Lankaran-Astara region are lemons, tangerines and oranges. Studies of soils under citrus plantations showed that the amount of total humus in soils under lemon fluctuates within 1.60-2.80%. Agrochemical indicators of soils under lemons showed a decrease in soil fertility. In conclusion, the author gives recommendations for improving the chemical composition of the studied soils.
