The chemical properties of the soil in Abu Ghraib district

Abstract

The research aims to study the chemical properties of the soil in Abu Ghraib district, which is located in the western part of Baghdad governorate, with an area of ​​223,158 km2. For the purpose of achieving the goal of the study, judicial visualizations, geological maps, and climatic element data were relied on for Baghdad station. The chemical properties include (salinity, PH,, organic matter, calcium carbonate (lime), calcium sulfate (gypsum), and the percentage of sodium exchanged (ESP). (12) soil samples were taken randomly at a depth of (0-30) cm. And its analysis, the research found a variation in the chemical properties of the soil, as the percentage of organic matter ranged from (0,5-1,5)%, and the salinity ranged between (3.1-16,1) mmos / cm and the pH (7,6-8). 1), lime calcium carbonate (23.3-31.2)%, and gypsum (0.51.9).
