Restorative Effects of Amendments on Artificially Degraded Soils in the Southern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria

Adaikwu A.O*, F. K. Salako, Busari M. A., Jamiu Oladipupo Azeez

An evaluation of the productivity of degraded alfisols at Makurdi and Otobi, Nigeria, using artificial desurfacing techniques (ADT) was carried out in 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons. The study was a split-split plot experiment arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The soil was desurfaced at 0 – 5, 0 – 10, 0 – 15, 0...

Prediction of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Using Soil Texture and Organic Carbon Under Different Land Use Types

Onasanya, O. O*, F.K. Salako, AJIBOYE G. A., Busari M. A.

The aim of this study is to develop models for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) in soils under different land use types in a tropical environment. The regression models were developed using the soil particle size fraction and organic carbon contents.The results indicated that the sand, clay and organic carbon content of the soils were sufficie...

Heavy Metals Accumulation in Soil and Amaranthus Cruentus L Irrigated with Dye Effluent Polluted Stream Water in Abeokuta, Southwest Nigeria

O. A. Oguntade*, M. T. Adetunji, F. K. Salako, T. A. Arowolo, Jamiu Oladipupo Azeez

This study evaluated the quality of Amaranthus cruentus irrigated with dye effluent polluted stream and water from a deep hand-dug surface well (well-water). It also assessed the levels of heavy metals including Manganese, Iron, Copper, Zinc and Chromium in soil and amaranths irrigated with the waters in two dry seasons. The results showed that the...

Soil Structural and Chemical Conditions After Disposal of Fabric Dye on a Loamy Sand Soil in Southwestern Nigeria

Fadare F. J., Salako F. K, ADESODUN Johnson Kayode*

The indiscriminate disposition of dye waste water from the age-long “Adire” industry of Abeokuta, southwest Nigeria is a major concern as the movement of such contaminants in the soil needs to be monitored. This study investigated the effect of fabric dye on soil physical and chemical properties. Treatments were local concentration, spent local-con...

Effect of Tillage, Poultry Manure and Npk Fertilizer on Soil Chemical Properties and Maize Yield on an Alfisol at Abeokuta, South - Western Nigeria

M.A. Busari*, F.K. Salako

Tillage is a basic soil management tool that significantly affects soil characteristics and plant development. This study examined the 2-year effects of tillage, poultry manure (PM) and NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer on soil chemical properties and maize yield. The experiment was a split-split- plot design with three replications. Tillage (zero tillage (Z...
