Impact of Land Use Types and Soil Depths on Selected Soil Properties in Igboora, Nigeria

This study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of land-use types at different sampling depths on some selected soil properties within the Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology, Igboora,...

Fertility Status of Biakpan Rubber (hevea Brasiliensis) Soils of Cross River State, Nigeria.

A study was carried out at Biakpan rubber estate in Cross River State, Nigeria to evaluate the fertility status of the soils. Three profile pits at random points within the estate were sunk...

Influence of Forms of Iron and Manganese Oxides on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Soils Formed Over Mica - Schist in a Northern Guinea Savanna, Nigeria

Three forms of oxides of iron and manganese were evaluated on soils developed in mica-schist lithology within the basement complex formation of Taraba State, North-eastern Nigeria. The results from...

Influence of Sesame Varieties and Fertilizer Levels on the Yield of Sesame in Potiskum, Yobe State - Nigeria

Field experiments were carried out in 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons to deter- mine the influence of sesame varieties and fertilizer levels on the yield of sesame in the study area. Treatments...

Mineralogical Investigation of Some Imperfectly and Poorly Drained Soils of the Nigerian Northern Guinea Savanna Agroecology

This study aimed to investigate the mineralogy of soils with impaired drainage formed within the northern guinea savanna of Nigeria. Soil survey procedure was carried out to identify the two soil...

Magnetic Susceptibility and Heavy Metal Contamination in Farmland Soils of Mangu Area, Plateau State, Nigeria

Magnetic susceptibility measurements of soil samples collected at depths 0, 15, 30, and 45cm from thirty-three different farmlands within the study area were made using MS2G Sensor connected to...

Growth and Yield Response of Maize to Different Nitrogen and Phosphorus Rates in Yola, Nigeria.

Field studies were conducted during the 2000 and 2001 cropping seasons at the University Research Farm, Federal Universality of Technology, Yola to evaluate the response of maize (New Kaduna White)...

Characterization and Classification of Rice - Growing Soils on Igbaku Sandstones Residua and Current Suitability for Rice Production in Anambra State, Eastern Nigeria

The soils on Igbaku sandstones residua were sample at Ifite Ogwari in Anambra state Nigeria to characterize, classify and evaluate their current suitability for rice production. Following several...

Effect of Nypa Fruticans and Mangrove Species on Soil Properties in Eastern Obolo, Akwa Ibom State

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of nypa and mangrove on soil properties to determine whether nypa in displacing mangrove was degrading or aggrading the underlying soil, in Okorombokho...

Effect of Trichoderma Inoculated Organic Manure on Water Retention Characteristics of Two Texturally Contrasting Soils in Nsukka, Southeastern, Nigeria.

The effect of Trichoderma inoculated organic manure on water retention charac- teristics of two texturally contrasting soils was investigated in the glasshouse of the Department of Soil Science,...

Maximum Phosphate Adsorption Capacity as Influenced by Some Biochar Properties

The use of biochar as a low-cost adsorbent to remove nutrients from aqueous solutions is getting great attention lately due to its many environmental applica- tions and benefits. Although biochar has...

Evaluation of Lower Niger River Floodplain Soils of Bayelsa State, Southern Nigeria for Their Agricultural Capabilities

Capabilities and fertility constraints to crop production of the Lower Niger River floodplain soils were assessed using Land Capability Classification (LCC), Land capability Index (LCI), and the...

Agronomic Potentials of Boiler Ash Derived from Oil Palm Wastes as Fertilizer, Soil Amendment, and Liming Materials.

One potential problem with recycling power plant ashes is its variability both from fuel to fuel and within a certain fuel-type. This study obtained information on the main components of ashes...
