Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the quality and fertility of the soil samples taken from Suawan River Watershed of Davao, Philippines. Its objectives were to determine the pH, organic matter, cation exchange capacity, macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn) and Pb as a pollutant indicator of the twenty soil samples. Based on soil fertility guidelines set by the Bureau of Soils and Water Management, soil
