Effect of Tillage and Maize - Cowpea Intercrop on Fractal Features of Particle and Aggregate Size Distribution on a Tropical Sandy Loam Soil in Southwest Nigeria

ADESODUN Johnson Kayode*, Udom B. E., Adekunle A. O, Adejuyigbe C. O.,, Atayese M. O., Olowokere F. A., Mbila M., Oyegoke, C.O,

The effects of tillage and cropping pattern on soil aggregation, fractal dimensions and distribution of organic carbon fractions were studied. Treatments were no- tillage (NT), conventional tillage (CT), and four cropping patterns viz: sole maize, sole cowpea, maize-cowpea intercrops and control (no crop). Soil samples were analysed for particle si...

Soil Organic Carbon Fractions and Aggregation of a Tropical Alfisol as Affected by Plant Residues

ADESODUN Johnson Kayode*, Udom B. E., Abudu O. S., Adejuyigbe C. O.,, Enikuomehin O. A, Thannia B. M, Oke O. O., Olowokere F. A., Oyegoke, C.O,, Mbila M.

Incorporation of plant residues into soil plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of fragile tropical soils. This study evaluated the short-term effect of plant residues of different quality on organic carbon (OC) fractions, carbon management indices and stability of a sandy loam soil with low (< 2%) initial OC content. The residues are Banana ...

Soil Chemical Properties and Nutrient (n, P, K )uptake as Affected by Residual Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers.

Olowokere F. A.*, ADESODUN Johnson Kayode, BABALOLA O. A., AKINTOKUN Pius Oluwagbemiga, ADEYEYE A. A

A study of gully erosion effects on soil properties in some soils of Edo State. Nigeria was investigated under natural conditions in five (5) gully sites from four Local Government Areas (Ekehuan Road in Oredo L.G.A. Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma in Esan West L.G.A., University of Benin Campus in Ovia North East L.G.A., Agbo Motor Park Road and T...

Influence of Plant and Animal Manures on Soil Chemical Properties and Tomato (lycopersicum Esculentum) Yield

Olowokere F. A.*, ADESODUN Johnson Kayode, AKINTOKUN Pius Oluwagbemiga, Egbedokun A.O., Oyenekan, O.A., Martins M.S.

Low nutrient status of tropical soils requires external source of nutrients for sustainable cropping. Field experiments were conducted in 2009 and 2010 cropping seasons at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria to evaluate the effect of plant and animal manures on soil chemical properties and yield of tomato. Treatments used were:...

Soil Chemical Properties, Yield and Nutrient Uptake of Maize as Influenced by Plant and Animal Based Organic Amendments

Olowokere F. A.*, ADESODUN Johnson Kayode, Adejuyigbe C. O.,, Soretire, A.A, AKINTOKUN Pius Oluwagbemiga, Akinyele S. A.,, Adeyemo T. O., Adeyemo O. A.

The influence of plant and animal-based organic amendments on soil chemical properties, yield and nutrient uptake by maize was studied for two years at the Research Farm of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, South-Western, Nigeria. The treatments used were: Poultry manure (PM); Compost (CP) derived from Poultry manure and ...
