Soil Boron and Bio - Accumulation in Raphia Palm

Aghimien A.E.^*

Total and available Boron were determined in surface soils from 56 locations on 5 different parent materials in Southern Nigeria. Boron concentrations in leaves of Raphia palms growing in the were also determined. Total, available and plant Boron ranged from 16.0 to 87.0; 0.08 to 2.31; 3.0 to 25.0mg/kg respectively in crystalline metamorphic and ig...

Phosphorus Sorption by Some Hydromorphic Soils of Southern Nigeria

Aghimien A.E.^*, Ilori E.G., Ehigiator J.O.

A laboratory experiment was conducted on fifty-eight (58) surface soils from five different soil parent materials in Southern Nigeria. Samples were equilibrated with different P concentrations ranging from 0 - 150 mg/L prior to evaluation sorption potentials. The Phosphorus Sorption Index (PSI) of the soils ranged from 4.80 to 64.90. The PSI values...
