Soil samples were taken from each plot before first fertilization, and then at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after this and subsequent fertilizer applications. Chemical analysis was done on the samples. Ca and N at all sampling intervals and the NCa interaction at some intervals significantly affected the soil pH; N and Ca constantly had significant effects on the KCI acid content of the soil at both depths (0-15, 15-30 cm). Application of Ca reduced the KCI acid content in both soil horizons available Ca++ (0-15 cm) was significantly increased by the application of limestone and decreased in the presence of N. In the lower horizon, Ca++ concentration was generally lower but was increased by application of Ca and decreased at a few intervals by the application of N. Available P (0-15 cm) was significantly increased at all sampling intervals by application of p. In the lower horizon only P affected the available -P concentration. Applied K significantly influencd soil K+ at all sampling intervals, increasing after each application but decreasing with time. In the lower horizon it was decreased by the application of N
