Characterization, Classification and Suitability Evaluation of Soils on Three Geological Formations in Nsukka Area of Enugu State for Pepper Production

Umeugokwe C. P^*, Ajoagu G. M, Asadu, C.L.A

This study aimed to characterize, classify, and evaluate the soils on three geological formations in Nsukka, Eastern Nigeria for pepper production. The geological formations included Upper Coal Measure (UCM), False Bedded Sandstone (FBS), and Nkporo Shale (NS). Three pedons were excavated to represent each of these geological formations. Soil prope...

Physicochemical Properties of an Alfisol Under Fallow and Adjacent Forest Lands and Their Suitability for Cocoyam, Pigeon Pea and Sweet Potato Production in Nsukka, Southeastern Nigeria

Ugadu, M.E^*, Asadu, C.L.A

Forest land provides a wide range of ecosystem services such as reducing the impact of raindrops on the soil and maintenance of soil fertility, whereas fallowing is one method used in restoring the fertility status of degraded farmlands. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of an Alfisol under fallow and adjacent forestland, and thei...
