Abstract
A pedological study was carried out on some low-lying land area referred to as Jangwa flood plains with a view to characterized and evaluate the effect of three (3) flood levels namely: toeslope, medium and levee flood levels on growth and yield of four (4) varieties of rice (Faro 44 maturing, FARO 52 and L-19 (FARO 60), medium maturing and late FARO 15 maturing) grown in the area.Field trialsand crop trials were carried out for 2015 and 2016 cropping season. Profile pits were sunk, giving a total of 6 profile pits. Soil samples were collected from different horizons, air dried crushed and sieved (d
