Popis:	Citrus, olives, and vines are among the crops that dominate agriculture in southern Greece. A soil sampling campaign was carried out in 30 different representative sites of Peloponnese, Greece, almost exclusively dominated by vineyards and olive and citrus orchards. Soil samples were analyzed for pH; calcium carbonate (CaCO3); organic matter; total nitrogen (N); ammonium (NH4); nitrate (NO3); available phosphorus (P); exchangeable potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca); and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) manganese (Mn). The results suggest that soil organic carbon (C) and total N in the soil, followed by available P, K, and Mn, are the major soil fertility constraints to crop production in the area. Most of the studied soils (77%, 84%, and 61% for vine, olive, and citrus, respectively) were within the favorable pH range for the crops, and 22%, 14%, and 29% of soils in vine, olive, and citrus fields respectively had high CaCO3 values (>20%). Also, 91%, 75%, and 76% of soils in vine, oli...
