Opis (eng)

Abstract: Pedological and land capability properties of soil in the Pešter plateau region (the Municipality of Tutin, Serbia), indicate that those are predominantly shallow, poorly fertile soils, rated with class 5 and above. By altitude and relief predisposition, agricultural land is extremely mountainous with the average altitude of approx 1000m. Fruit area takes 0.9% of the territory or 340 ha of the area, with plum dominating in the production structure and a tendency of planting raspberry. Analysis of agro-physical and agro-chemical properties of the soil planned for established fruit plantations show that the soils within the same area are significantly different and require different repair measures accordingly. Agro-physical properties indicate the classification of clay to light clay soil, with medium to high interval of cation exchange capacity (T). Degree of soil saturation with adsorbed bases (V%) corresponds to other parameters tested, with the highest values in the Pešter region, in the zone under peat fields from which the peat is utilized for commercial purposes (V 85.14 to 98.57%). Agrochemical properties of the soil indicate the soil reaction range from acid to slightly acid, noncarbonic at 60-75% of the sampled surface depending on the depth of sampling and culture grown. A high (> 5%) and very high (> 8%) humus content is present in the surface horizon (0-30 cm) in about 75% of the tested surfaces. In most of the sampled localities a very low content of available phosphorus was recorded (<6 mgP2O5/100 g of soil) as well as the availability of easily accessible potassium (15-25 mg/100g of soil). For the cultivation of fruit species in these conditions, it is necessary to consider all environmental conditions and then select the type and variety (of the species for cultivation).
