Characterization and Classification of Soils of a Toposequence at Osun Sacred Grove, Nigeria

Senjobi B.A.^*, Alabi K. O., AJIBOYE G. A., Adeofun C.O.

Rational use of forest resources without accurate knowledge of land and soil properties is a primary concern in achieving any millennium goal on afforestation. Hence, the morphological, physical and chemical properties of soils of a toposequence over coarse-grained granite gneiss at Osun sacred grove, in Osun State, south-Western Nigeria were studi...

Suitability Assessment of Soils of Nifor Sub - Station Ohosu Edo State for Oil Palm (elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) and Coconut (cocos Nucifera) Cultivation

Oko-Oboh E.^*, Senjobi B.A., AJIBOYE G. A., Oviasogie P.O, AWANLEMHEN B.E.

The need for appropriate and maximum utilization of available agricultural lands on sustainable basis cannot be over emphasized. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the suitability of the soils of NIFOR sub-Station Ohosu in Ovia South West Local Government Area, Edo State, Nigeria for both oil palm and coconut cultivation. Data from five...

Prediction of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Using Soil Texture and Organic Carbon Under Different Land Use Types

Onasanya, O. O^*, F.K. Salako, AJIBOYE G. A., Busari M. A.

The aim of this study is to develop models for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) in soils under different land use types in a tropical environment. The regression models were developed using the soil particle size fraction and organic carbon contents.The results indicated that the sand, clay and organic carbon content of the soils were sufficie...

Fertility Baseline Study of Major Cocoa Growing Soils of Nigeriaand Implication for Cocoa Production in Nigeria

AJIBOYE G. A.^*, Jaiyeoba, J. O., Olaiya, A. O., Hammed L. A.

"Field and laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the fertility status of the soils of three major cocoa-producing States in Nigeria. A Survey of the selected Local Government Areas was carried out and soil samples were collected at 0-30 and 31-60 cm depths. The Physico-chemical properties of the soils were assessed in relation to cocoa nutr...

Profile Distribution of Crystalline and Amorphous Sesquioxides in Talc Overburden Soils of Southern Guinea Savanna Ecology in Nigeria

AJIBOYE G. A.^*, Ogunwale J. A., Aduloju M. O.

The stage of development of soils developed over talc overburden in two locations (Ejiba and Odo- Ogbe) within the Southern Guinea Savanna Agro-ecology of Kogi State, Nigeria, were evaluated using the dithionite and oxalate extractable Fe, Al oxides and the ratios of silt: clay and silt: silt +clay of the soils. Soil samples collected from the pedo...

Assessment of Land Use Pattern and Land Form on Selected Physico-Chemical Properties of Soils Developed on Basement Complex-Sedimentary Transitional Zone of South Western Nigeria

AJIBOYE G. A.^*, OLANIYAN J. O., BOSIAKO C., OYETUNDE O. O.

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

Potassium Distribution in the Sand, Silt and Clay Fraction of Soils Developed Over Talc in Odo-Ogbe, Kogi State, Nigeria

AJIBOYE G. A.^*, Ogunwale J. A., Aduloju M. O.

Potassium (K) status of soils formed over talc at in a Southern Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria was assessed by the exchangeable, acid extractable, residual K and total K values in the sand, silt and clay fractions of the soils. Soil samples collected from genetic horizons of profile pits dug in five mapping units were fractioned into the three part...

Classification and Suitability Evaluation of the Soils of a Toposequence at Odeda, Ogun State for the Production of Rice (oryza Sativa)

AJIBOYE G. A.^*, Alabi K. O., Aiboni V. U.,, Okeleye K. A, ADESODUN Johnson Kayode

A detailed survey of the soils of a toposequence at Odeda, Ogun State was conducted to characterize, classify and assess the suitability of the soils for sustainable production of rice. The rigid grid method of survey was adopted for soil mapping while the linear parametric and square root models were used for assessing the suitability of the land ...
