Abstract
The effects of cropping practices and soil management on the properties of basement complex- sedimentary transitional zone soils in South Western Nigeria was assessed using soil samples from the pedogenic horizons of ten profile pits dug on two land-use systems (subsistence and experimental farms) and two toposequence. The land use significantly (P
