An evaluation method of soil integrated fertility was developed and us ed in the Houhu farm enterprise
with soil fertility being considered as a comp lex of the state of soil nutrients and the capacity to regulate and transform th e materials needed by plants. With systematic principle and the soil data of the Houhu farm enterprise
9 indexes were divided into two groups representing sep arately states of soil nutrients and environments of nutrients supplying
includ ing content of total N
total P 2O 5
total K 2O
available P 2O 5
availab le K 2O
pH
physical clay
silt-clay ratio and thickness of soil surface lay er ( epipedon). Then two types of membership functions of these indexes
S-type and parabola-type
were developed based on their effects on plants. Their valu es of function were also calculated. Through factor analysis of these values wit h the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
weight values of these indexes were decided. Finally
with Analytical Clustering Process (ACP)
soils fertility was divided into 5 classes in this area. With GIS software MAPGIS
the map of soil c omprehen sive fertility in the Houhu farm enterprise area was drawn. The soil f ertility in this region was mainly in 1
