Abstract
Forty soil samples were collected from Taworgha Agricultural project in the spring season. Some physical and chemical properties of soils, including cation exchange capacity (CEC), PH, organic matter (OM) and particle size composition (sand%, silt%, clay%) were measured. The correlations among these physical and chemical properties were examined and a correlation analysis based on the Pearson correlation coefficient established. The results shown that most of the soils were sandy loam texture. The PH values of soils range from 7.3 to 8.3. The OM percentage range from 0.08 to 1.04%, clay % range from 0.60 to 29.70% and CEC of soils range from 3.80 to 12.50 meq/100g dry soil. Pearson correlation analysis showed insignificant positive correlation between CEC of soils and both OM, clay % (r = 0.17, 0.25) respectively. However, the correlation coefficient between soil CEC and soil PH was insignificant negative correlation (r = - 0.27).
