This study was aimed to determine the molybdenum content of meadow - pasture soil betweenKırıkhan and Reyhanlı in Hatay province and to determine the relations of the molybdenumcontent with some heavy metals in the soil. For this purpose, two different depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) representing grassland pasture lands and 80 soil samples from 40 different points weretaken. Cadmium (Cd), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), andMolybdenum (Mo) contents were determined in the soil samples. The contents of the availableCd, Co, Pb, Cu, Fe, Ni and Mo of the soil were determined by reading the 0.005 M DTPA + 0.01M CaCl2 + 0.1 M TEA extracts in the ICP instrument. The results of the research shows that theCd contents of the soils are between 0.01-0.32 ppm; Co contents are from 0.01 to 4.97 ppm; Nicontents 0.00 to 20.00 ppm; Pb contents 3.00-67.00 ppm; Cu contents 0.26-7.48 ppm; The Fecontents are between 4.00 and 61.00 and the Mo contents are between 0.001 and 0.064 ppm. Itwas determined that there are significant positive relationships between Co, Ni, Pb, Cu and Fecontents of Mo in the soil. It was also determined that there are significant positive significantrelationships between Cd and Co; Co with Ni, Pb, Fe and Pb and Cu, Fe and Cu and Fe. No heavymetal pollution was found when the heavy metal contents of the regional soils were comparedwith the limit values.
