Soil organic matter and soil structural stability under different landuses in Koupendri catchment, Benin Republic

Azuka, C.V.^*, Nwite, J.N, Obi, M. E., Igué, A. M.

Knowledge of contribution of land use to sustenance of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil structural stability is crucial to management of tropical soils for optimization of ecosystem services. The study evaluated SOM and soil structural stability in maize-sorghum (MS), fallow shrub land (FL) and rice field (RF) in Koupendri catchment, Benin Republ...

Tillage and Rice Mill Wastes Mulch and Their Effects on Soil Properties and Yield of Cassava (manihot Spp.) on a Typic Psamment at Abakaliliki, Southeastern Nigeria

Nwite, J.N^*, Onwuso, G.I.

The experiment was undertaken using cassava (Manihot spp) to evaluate effects of different tillage practices and mulching (raised mulched bed, raised not mulched bed, flat mulched bed, flat not mulched bed, untilled mulched bed and untilled not mulched bed) on soil properties and cassava sprouting and yield in 2016 and 2017 planting seasons on a Ty...

Influence of Soil Amendment with Poultry Droppings on the Soil Properties and Productivity of Cucumbers (cucumis Sativus L.) on a Degraded Ultisol in Nsukka Area, Southeast Nigeria

Nwite, J.N^*, Njoku C., Nwogbaga, A.C

Poultry manure (PM) input is globally utilized for enhancing and maintaining soil fertility in vegetable farming. In many tropical regions, however, ‘site’ specific PM rate for optimum crop yield is lacking. A three-year continuous cucumber cultivation with 0, 10, 20 and 30 t/ha PM rates in three replicates, were arranged in RCBD on an Ultisol. Soi...

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...
