Effect of Tillage and Maize - Cowpea Intercrop on Fractal Features of Particle and Aggregate Size Distribution on a Tropical Sandy Loam Soil in Southwest Nigeria

The effects of tillage and cropping pattern on soil aggregation, fractal dimensions and distribution of organic carbon fractions were studied. Treatments were no- tillage (NT), conventional tillage (CT), and four cropping patterns viz: sole maize, sole cowpea, maize-cowpea intercrops and control (no crop). Soil samples were analysed for particle si...

Soil Organic Carbon Fractions and Aggregation of a Tropical Alfisol as Affected by Plant Residues

Incorporation of plant residues into soil plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of fragile tropical soils. This study evaluated the short-term effect of plant residues of different quality on organic carbon (OC) fractions, carbon management indices and stability of a sandy loam soil with low (< 2%) initial OC content. The residues are Banana ...

Effects of Different Land Uses on Soil Quality and Degradation in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria

A detailed soil survey was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farms of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. The study aimed to determine the effects of different land-use types on some soil quality indicators and to examine the relationship among the land use types, soil quality indicators, and land degradation. Surface (0-15cm) and s...
