A greenhouse study was conducted at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to evaluate the effect of composted oil palm bunch waste for improvement of some soil physical properties, organic matter status...
Soils developed from basalt were studied along with a top sequence of a deeply excavated basaltic quarry site at Ikom, Cross River State, Nigeria. The soils were very deep and occupy gently sloping...
The Physico-chemical characterization of soils derived from five parent materials in the humid tropics of South Southern Nigeria was studied. Soil properties such as texture, drainage, effective soil...

Due to the declining yield of Oil palm, soils of the coastal plains sand of Imo State supporting oil palms were evaluated. A bulked sample was taken from each of the ten sites studied, at 0 – 20cm...
This study was undertaken in two distinct ecological zones of Edo state of Nigeria to determine the effects of variation in the N: K ratio in soils on the availability of N, K and on the growth and...
A laboratory experiment was conducted on fifty-eight (58) surface soils from five different soil parent materials in Southern Nigeria. Samples were equilibrated with different P concentrations...
Total and available Boron were determined in surface soils from 56 locations on 5 different parent materials in Southern Nigeria. Boron concentrations in leaves of Raphia palms growing in the were...

The trial was carried out to determine the status of various forms of P in soils formed on 3 types of parent materials in Southern Nigeria. Soil samples were obtained from3 ha area in each of the...
The artificial incremental removal of surface soil to varying depths to simulate erosion followed by subsequent evaluation of crop growth and performance under uniform management is a common...
Few studies have been made to quantify the yield decline trends of major stable crops induced by erosion (natural and artificial) on the ultisols of Southeastern Nigeria, it is known that erosion’s...
