The aim of this study was to determine the direct and indirect effects of soil properties affecting the liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, and penetration resistance. In the 5 da pasture selected as the study area, 20 sampling points were determined randomly, penetration resistance (PD) values were read these points, then the soil samples were taken from 0-25cm (K1), 25-50cm (K2), and 50-75cm (K3) depths. Aggregation rate, aggregate stability, grain size distribution, organic matter content, moisture content, clay activity index, liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index were determined for this study. As a result of path analysis, it was determined that the property with the highest direct effect coefficient on penetration resistance and liquid limit is clay content, on plastic limit is organic matter content.
