TURKEY SOIL PRODUCTIVITY MAP PROJECT The Turkey Soil Productivity Map Project, started by GÜBRETAŞ in 2005, is an important data source for the agriculture sector. As of 2019, soil samples were collected from more than 11 thousand agricultural lands from 81 provinces. Macro and micro nutrients and soil properties are determined with the help of the soil samples that are analyzed in the GÜBRETAŞ laboratories. The data obtained from the analysis results are transferred to digital media with their coordinates. Also, “plant nutrition recipes” are created according to the analysis results and offered to producers as consultancy service. During the project (as of 2019), 50 thousand farmers were given practical soil sampling and conscious nutrition trainings on the field. In addition, with the help of the project data, “plant- and region-specific fertilizers” have been developed. For the main agricultural products in our country, the company contributed with 13 kinds of plant-specific fertilizers to high yields in agriculture.
