Zusammenfassung:Soil testing for physical and chemical characteristics of a soil is key in assessment of a soil fertility that leads to productivity of a soil. A total of 11231 soil samples from six tehsils of Attock district were collected during five years (2012-17). Samples were analyzed for different parameters like pH, EC (1:10), texture, organic matter, Olsen Phosphorus and NH4-acetate extractable Potassium. As regards pH, 98% samples ranged between 7.5-8.5 while 97% samples were normal with respect to salinity/sodicity (ECe
