Changes in Soil Physical Properties Due to Variable Weather Conditions Under Two Soil Types in South Western Nigeria

Ologunde O.H.*, Adebayo O.E., Busari M. A.

Soil physical properties changes with weather conditions over time. The degree of variation might be influenced by different soil textural classes. This study aimed at understanding the changes in soil physical with varying weather conditions under two soil textures. The research was conducted in cassava fields at the Federal University of Agricult...

Restorative Effects of Amendments on Artificially Degraded Soils in the Southern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria

An evaluation of the productivity of degraded alfisols at Makurdi and Otobi, Nigeria, using artificial desurfacing techniques (ADT) was carried out in 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons. The study was a split-split plot experiment arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The soil was desurfaced at 0 – 5, 0 – 10, 0 – 15, 0...

Prediction of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Using Soil Texture and Organic Carbon Under Different Land Use Types

The aim of this study is to develop models for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) in soils under different land use types in a tropical environment. The regression models were developed using the soil particle size fraction and organic carbon contents.The results indicated that the sand, clay and organic carbon content of the soils were sufficie...

Effect of Tillage, Poultry Manure and Npk Fertilizer on Soil Chemical Properties and Maize Yield on an Alfisol at Abeokuta, South - Western Nigeria

Busari M. A.*, F. K. Salako

Tillage is a basic soil management tool that significantly affects soil characteristics and plant development. This study examined the 2-year effects of tillage, poultry manure (PM) and NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer on soil chemical properties and maize yield. The experiment was a split-split- plot design with three replications. Tillage (zero tillage (Z...
