Characterization, Taxonomic and Fertility Capability Classification of Some Soils in the Teaching and Research Farm of Taraba State University, Jalingo

Result-oriented and competitive agricultural production system requires soil characterization and land evaluation. The soils of the Teaching and Research Farm of Taraba State University were characterized, taxonomically classified and evaluated for fertility capability classification. Three mapping units were delineated using a semi-detailed survey...

Performance of Horton Infiltration Model in Predicting the Infiltration Capacity of Some Soils of the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria

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 ...
