Suitability Evaluation for Elaeis Guineensis, Cocos Nucifera and Theobroma Cacao Cultivation on Some Soils of Isua Community in Edo State, Nigeria.

This study was conducted on a 128-hectare land in Isua community of Edo state to assess its suitability for Oil palm, Coconut and Cocoa cultivation. Rigid grid Soil survey methodology at detailed...

Biofortification of Agricultural Effluents on Translocation and Accumulation of Micronutrients Content in Cucumber (cucumis Sativus) Plants Grown in a Coastal Plain Sand Soil South - South Ecological Zone, Nigeria.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of agricultural effluents on Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn, partitioned in cucumber plants. Eight treatments, cassava mill effluent (CME), palm oil mill effluent...

Characterization and Classification of Some Flood Plain Soils in the Southern Guinea Savannah of Nigeria

Soils of GidanTindi and Jangwa flood plains, Awe Local Government Area of Nassarawa State were studied using the reconnaissance method of soil survey with a view to characterized, classify and...

Evaluation of Farmyard Manure and Urea on Growth, Yield and Cost Benefits of Rice (zea Mays L) (oryza Sativa L) in Southern Guinea Savanna, Nigeria.

Chemical fertilizers are become more and more expensive, making them unaffordable for smallholder farmers in Nigeria. This study compared the combined effects of farmyard manure and inorganic...

Geospatial Distribution of Soil Reaction in Central Southeastern Nigeria.

The study applied Geographic Information System (GIS) in the Study of Soil Acidity Distribution in Soils of Central Southeastern Nigeria from six different parent materials, namely Imo Clay Shale,...

Ammonium Sorption Characteristics of Soils of Coastal Plain Sand in Owerri West Imo State

Information on the ammonium sorption capacity of soils is very crucial in the development of sound ammonium fertilization and management. This study was therefore carried out to determine the...

Characterization, Classification and Suitability Evaluation of Soils on Three Geological Formations in Nsukka Area of Enugu State for Pepper Production

This study aimed to characterize, classify, and evaluate the soils on three geological formations in Nsukka, Eastern Nigeria for pepper production. The geological formations included Upper Coal...

Kinetics of Phosphorus Sorption in Selected Soils of Southeastern Nigeri

This study investigated the phosphorus sorption kinetics of soils of varying parent material and soil depth in south east Nigeria. The parent materials studied were: Coastal Plain Sand, Basalt, Shale...

Use of Point - Based Pedotransfer Function to Predict Field Capacity of the Soil in Nsukka Area, Southeast Nigeria.

Point-based pedotransfer functions are attractive for modelling soil water content; however, they have not been widely applied to predict field capacity (FC) of weathered tropical ultisols....

Characterization and Classification of Soil - Landform Features in Nigeria's Sokoto - Rima Floodplains

The study was to identify and classify soils in floodplains along the Wamakko area of Sokoto-Rima in Nigeria. After profiling, samples taken from each horizon were identified, characterized, and...

Forms of Zinc, Cobalt, and Chromium in Soils Cultivated to Oil Palm and Rubber in the Rainforest

The study aimed to determine the status of six forms of Zinc (Zn), Cobalt (Co), and Chromium (Cr) in soils cultivated for Oil palm and Rubber in the rainforest belt of Nigeria. Soils were collected...

Sustainability of Crop Production in Relation to Landscape Position and Soil Properties in Isiama, Abia State.

The research was carried out at Isiama in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria to examine the relationship between landscape positions and some selected soil properties. The...

Soil Fertility and Productivity Test Analysis of Selected Soils of Evite Otu, Aguleri, Anambra East Lga, Anambra State

Land Suitability Evaluation for the Production of Maize (zea Mays) and Groundnut (arachis Hypogaea L.) Using Parametric and Non - Parametric Methods in Mambilla Plateau, Nigeria

The study aimed to evaluate the land suitability for the production of maize (Zea mays) and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in selected soils of the Mambilla Plateau in Sardauna local government area...

Pedological Characterization and Classification of Soils Underlain by Basement Complex at the Mambilla Plateau, Nigeria

The study aimed to characterize and classify selected soils underlain by a basement complex at the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State Northeast, Nigeria. A total of 12 pedons were dug to represent...

Effect of Oil Palm Cultivation on the Micronutrient Status of Soils in a Coastal Plain Sands Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

High levels of micronutrients may cause metabolic disorders and become growth inhibitors to most plant species. Therefore, the study assessed the levels of micronutrients in soils under oil palm...

Influence of Oil Palm Cultivation on Topsoil Properties in Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research, Akwa Ibom State.

The thin layer of soil covering the surface of the earth represents the difference between survival and extinction for most land-based life. Four oil palm blocks of varying ages: 57 years (B-57), 39...
