The soils around the roots of various kinds of vegetables cultivated in upland fields were separated into three fractions, namely, rhizosphere soil (soil I), soil in root area (soil II) and soil out of root area (soil III). The water-soluble NO3 and bases, and Truog P2O5, together with pH and EC, of the separated soil samples, and N and P contents of the spinach plant were determined. The nitrate contents of the soil samples were in the order of soil I = soil II soil Ill in the middle of growth of the vegetables. The Truog P2O5 COntentS Of the soil samples from an Andosol field were soil I soil II = soil III, both in the middle of growth and at harvest of the vegetables, while no difference in Truog P2O5 content Was observed among soil I , II and III from a Red-Yellow or Brown Lowland field. In the Andosol field, the total-P and Al-P contents of the soil I were higher than those of soils II and Ill. Soil I contained more water-soluble bases than soils II and Ill. The nitrate contents of soils I and II correlated well with that of spinach and yield, as did Truog P2O5 contents of soils I and II did with yield and the P content of spinach in the middle of growth and at harvest
