Slope Position and Depth Effects on Selected Soil Physical Properties Under Oil Palm (elaeis Guineensis) Plantation

O. O. Olubanjo^*, F. U. Maidoh, P.O. Oviasogie

A study was conducted to examine the influence of slope position and depth on soil physical properties in an oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantation established on a gently sloping terrain in NIFOR Benin, Nigeria. A line transect was delineated along the slope of the selected plantation. The line transect was 45 m long and 45 m wide. It was divided...

Assessment of the Water Conservation Potential and Mode of Application of Coconut (cocos Nucifera) Husk Hydrogel on Soil Cultivated to Coconut Seedling

M.O. Ekebafe^*, L. O. Ekebafe, OSAYANDE P.E., F. U. Maidoh, P. Irhemu

Coconut husk cellulosic-polyacrylonitrile hydrogel was synthesized in aqueous solution. Saponification of grafted copolymer was done by reaction with sodium hydroxide followed by methanol precipitation. The reaction was confirmed using FTIR and characterized in terms of water retention value (286g/g) and de-swelling ratio (83.16%). Soil samples col...
