Geospatial Distribution of Soil Reaction in Central Southeastern Nigeria

Onyechere A U^*, Onweremadu E. U, Aririguzo, B. N, AHUKAEMERE C.M.

The study applied Geographic Information System (GIS) in the Study of Soil Acidity Distribution in Soils of Central Southeastern Nigeria from six different parent materials, namely Imo Clay Shale, Ajali Sandstone, Asu River group, Afikpo Sandstone, Ogwashi-Asaba formation and Bende Ameki formation. Free soil survey method was used to site the eight...

Forms of Primary Nutrient Elements in Soils Overlying Contrasting Parent Materials in South - Eastern Nigeria

Ahukaemere, C.M.^*, Bethel Ugochukwu Uzoho, Ndukwu, B., Onwudike S,U., Okoli N.H., Irokwe I. F.

Appropriate management of soil fertility should rely upon sound knowledge of the nutrients reserve and their availability. This is only possible if there is adequate information on the influence of parent material on the dynamics and availability of these nutrient elements. Research was carried out in 2014 at three locations underlain by three diff...

Suitability Evaluation of Soils of the Coastal Plain Sands for Rain - Fed Maize Production in Acid Sands of South - Eastern Nigeria.

AHUKAEMERE C.M.^*, Onweremadu E. U, Akamigbo, F.O.R., Ndukwu, B.

Soils developed on Coastal plain sands have been classified as acidic soils of low CEC and soil fertility. These fragile sandy soils were evaluated for effective and sustainable rain-fed maize production using FAO land suitability classification system. Profile pits were consequently dug in four different soil units – 100m apart: Umuagwo soil unit ...

Profile Characteristics of Selected Rice - Producing Soils of Abia State in South - Eastern Nigeria

AHUKAEMERE C.M.^*, Ndukwu, B., Ihem, E.E, Onwuso, G.I.

Due to the increasing soil degradation of South-eastern Nigeria – with particular reference to the rice growing soils of the region, selected rice producing soils of Abia State were characterized with a view towards acquiring a holistic understanding of the soils and their fertility status. Random soil survey technique was used in field sampling. F...

Characterization and Fertility Status of Wetland Soils in Abia State Agro-Ecological Zone of Southeastern Nigeria.

AHUKAEMERE C.M.^*, ESHETT E.T, AHIWE C.

The realization of the potentials of paddy soils necessitates taking the inventory of their micronutrients status. The available micronutrients status of soils of two varying paddy lands (upland and lowland) were studied. A random soil survey technique was used in field sampling. Four representative soil profiles, two in each paddy soil type were d...

Profile Distribution of Selected Essential Micronutrients in Paddy Soils of Abia State, Southeastern Nigeria

AHUKAEMERE C.M.^*, NKWOPARA U.N., EKPENYONG O.S

Frequency of fertilizer application should be closely monitored to prevent excessive nutrient supply and environmental pollution. A field experiment was carried out in 2010 planting season at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) to determine the residual effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on soil properties and maize yi...
