Abstract

This research aims to study the physical properties of sedimentary soil in Ramadi district, which include (soil texture, bulk density, actual density, soil porosity, soil moisture, soil temperature and color). We have been sampling from 23 provinces on both sides of the river, and deeply (0-30 cm) as the class of interest in agriculture. The results of laboratory analysis showed that there is a variation in the type of tissue, where the sand is higher in the areas near the water sources, the highest percentage was 84.4% in Zgheib and Baht Province, while the lowest percentage was 28.4% in Krishan province, where the proportion of soft materials such as green and mud. The apparent density was low in contrast, the highest in acidity was 1.431 g/cm3 and the lowest value was 1.141 g/cm3 in Almouh. The highest density was 2.715 g/cm3 and the lowest was 2.289 g/cm3. As for porosity, the highest value was 55.788% and the lowest value was 34.844%. As for the color of the soil, the pale brown color prevailed in most of the soil of the study area, and white color spread in the area of Krishan, as evidence of the spread of salts there.
