Soils different in the study area accordingly on its location change, as the natural ingredients lead Such In determining the characteristics of it soils and drawing their features and the possibility of using them in various agricultural activities, The search included a study and analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of soil in Al-Husayniyah district, northeast of Karbala Governorate, by (24) samples and for (12) sites. To know the changes in its physical properties represented in soil texture, soil moisture and temperature, as for its chemical properties, it was represented by SOM, pH and EC. Results of the search showed that the physical and chemical properties of the soil of the study area are suitable for Agriculture citrus fruits, the soil was characterized by a texture that ranged from Sand Loamy and Sandy loam and sandy, which made it good and the movement of air and water was relatively more good, allowing the roots of plants to penetrate through it, In addition to soil moisture, moderate temperature and low salinity their rates are less than 4 dS.m-1 as such, it is considered a low-salinity soil, which encouraged the prosperity of cultivating citrus trees in the Al-Husseiniya district.
