The aim of this work was to identify the correlation between soil attributes and weed seed bank. The soil samplings for weed seed bank and soil fertility were collected simultaneously in the field using a 20 x 20 meter grid. The weed seed bank and soil fertility maps were generated by the kriging interpolation technique. The correlation values between the seed bank of BRAPL and aluminum saturation (m%), base saturation (V%) and pH were, respectively, 0.84, -0.83 and -0.74. Thus, the higher the value of m% and the lower the values of V% and pH, the higher the weed seed bank was. Similar result was observed for COMBE at lower correlation values (-0.35 with V% and of 0.28 with m%). The CYPRO seed bank showed the same tendency as BRAPL (0.57 for m%, -0.63 for V%, -0.7 for Ca and -0.64 for the pH). It was concluded that there was a high correlation among pH, Ca, V% and m% and the weed seed bank.
