Abstract

Abstract
The study aims to determine the status of soil nutrients and pH in the village Sea, sub Pineleng Minahasa district. This research was conducted in January to April 2015 using a survey method, in which soil samples were taken by slope and land use. Soil samples were taken at five points at a depth of 0 to 40 cm and 40 cm larger. The variables measured were nitrogen (Kjedhal method), phosphorus (Bray I method), Potassium (Bray method I), C- organic (Walkley and Black method) and soil pH (pH meter). Research data analysis using descriptive analysis. The results showed that soil pH in the research sites is in the range of 6.29 to 6.48, the content of the element nitrogen is in the range of 0.12% to 0.27%), phosphorus content in the range of 8.60 ppm to 14.29 , potassium element content is in the range of 1.72 ppm to 11.95 ppm, and organic matter content of 1.52% to 3.17%.
