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

Chukwu E. D*, B. T. Udoh, Nnabuihe, E, Okoli N. H, Osisi A. F

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 cultivation in a coastal plain sands area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Three oil palm blocks of varying ages, l7 years (B-17), 39 years (B-39) and 57 years...

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

Chukwu E. D*, B. T. Udoh, Afangide, A. I, Osisi A. F

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 years (B-39), 17 years (B-17), and no oil palm block (B-0), which served as the control, were identified and used for the study. The result showed that...

Fertility Capability Classification of Acid Sands (Soils) as Influenced by Parent Materials in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

B. T. Udoh*, A. O. Ogunkunle, U. S. Akpan

Fertility capability classification (FCC) was carried out using data obtained from a field survey of acid sands soils in the Niger Delta area of Akwa Ibom State. The soils were studied on the basis of their parent materials, namely, coastal plain sands (CPS), beach ridge sands (BRS), sandstone/shale (SSS) and alluvial deposits (ALD). The result sho...
