Abstract: A large number of soil fertility analysis and field trials were carried out in different regions of China.Results confirmed that soil nitrogen fertility in 20 tested soil types is low.The crop relative yield in N treatment is 69% in average,of which 65% accounts for"low nitrogen level",35% for"medium level",and none is"high"in nitrogen.Soil phosphorus fertility in these soils medium.The crop relative yield in-P treatment is 86.4% in average,of which 32% accounts for"high level"59% for"medium level",and 9% is"low"Soil potassium ferility in these soils is from medium to high.The crop relative yield in-K treatment 93.7% in average of which 41% accounts for"high level",56% for"medium level",and only 3% is"low".Soil fertility index for the 20 soil types have been worked out in accordance with soil test results and crop relative yields.

Key words: Soil fertility Index, Crop relative yield
