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

Characterization, Classification and Agricultural Potential of Some Selected Soils of Kwara State, Nigeria

OLANIYAN J. O.^*

The major soils of Kwara State were identified using the FDALR- produced soil map of Nigeria. These soils were mapped. Soil samples were taken from pedogenic horizons and analysed in the laboratory for further characterization and classification. The soils developed on basement complex rocks are gravely while those developed on sandstone are more s...
