Some Microbiological Properties in Soil Samples Taken from Maize Grown Fields in Sanliurfa

The aim of this study was to investigate some microbiological properties in soil samples taken from maize grown fields in Sanliurfa. Also, some physic-chemical properties of these soil samples were observed. The soil samples were taken from 0-20 cm depth of maize grown soils. The microbial biomass carbon content of soils was determined as 98.2-198.5 mg C/g dry soil. The enzyme activities studied of soil samples were urease, catalase, dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, β-glucosidase. Enzyme activities of samples were differently. Positive and negative correlation were found between soil properties observed.
