Mineralogical Investigation of Some Imperfectly and Poorly Drained Soils of the Nigerian Northern Guinea Savanna Agroecology

Abdulrashid Shobayo Babatunde*, Sulaiman Yau Lawan, Aliyu, J.,

This study aimed to investigate the mineralogy of soils with impaired drainage formed within the northern guinea savanna of Nigeria. Soil survey procedure was carried out to identify the two soil individuals (polypedon) namely: imperfectly drained soil (IDS) and poorly drained soil (PDS) that occupied 6,407.68ha (90.96%) and 636.82 ha(9.04%) respec...

Girei, A. H.*, Nabayi, A.,, Aliyu, J.,, Garba, J,, Hashim, S.A.,, Alasinrin, S.Y., Abdullahi, M Y

Infiltration study is very crucial in modelling water requirement of crops during their growth season. Infiltration rate measurements were carried out on dryland areas of Sokoto, Sudan savanna ecological zone of Nigeria, using the double ring infiltrometer. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were used to determine some physical characteristics ...
