Area of 504000 ha has been investigated and it ranges over the part of western Serbia and southern Sumadija. Data about parameters of soil fertility and the content of some microelements and heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Cu, Pb) are shown in this study. About 32% of all samples are favorable for agricultural production. The biggest issues concerning agricultural production are low phosphorus content (74% of samples), unfavorable pH condition (24% of samples), and deficiency of Cu and Zn. Content of selected trace elements in small number of samples are above maximal allowed limits (MAC), even 95% of all samples have content of these elements far below MAC.
