Impact of Composted Oil Palm Wastes on Soil Physical Properties, Organic Matter Content and Growth of Oil Palm Seedlings Under Different Moisture Regimes

Ovie S.^*, Anisiobi, G.E., Okolo, C.C., Udegbunam, O.N., Okenmuo, F.C.

A greenhouse study was conducted at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to evaluate the effect of composted oil palm bunch waste for improvement of some soil physical properties, organic matter status and growth of oil palm seedlings under different water management conditions. The experiment was a 4 x 3 factorial fitted into the completely randomiz...

Impact of Open Cast Mine Land Use on Soil Physical Properties in Enyigba, Southeastern Nigeraand the Implication for Sustainable Land Use Management

Okolo, C.C.^*, Akamigbo, F.O.R., , Ezeaku, P.I., Nwite, J.N, Nwite, J.C, Ezeudo, V. C, Ene, J., Ukaegbu, E. P, Udegbunam, O.N., Eze, N. C

The study examined the extent of soil physical properties deterioration due to mining activities in Enyiba Ebonyi State, Southeastern Nigeria. In the study, two factors were considered: factor A - Soil depths (surface soil: 0-15 cm and subsurface soil: 15-30 cm) and factor B - Distances from mine pits (100 m, 200 m, 300 m, 400 m and 500 m away from...

Suitability Assessment of Soils Supporting Oil Palm Plantations in the Coastal Plains Sand, Imo State, Nigeria

Ukaegbu E.P.^*, Osuaku, S.K., Okolo, C.C.

Due to the declining yield of Oil palm, soils of the coastal plains sand of Imo State supporting oil palms were evaluated. A bulked sample was taken from each of the ten sites studied, at 0 – 20cm and 20 – 40cm depths and analysed in the Laboratory. Soils textures were dominated by sandy loam at the surface, but sandy clay loam at the subsurface. R...
