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...
